Structural Civil Engineer

As a Structural Civil Engineer at CERN, you will be responsible for the design, analysis and technical oversight of civil engineering structures throughout the project lifecycle, from feasibility studies to construction support. You will contribute to the development, maintenance and rehabilitation of CERN’s infrastructure, ensuring structural integrity, safety and compliance with applicable standards while collaborating with multidisciplinary teams and external partners.

Responsibilities

• Perform feasibility, preliminary and detailed design studies for civil engineering structures (surface buildings, underground installations, roads and utility networks), including structural analysis and dimensioning, seismic design, and the definition of structural concepts and technical solutions adapted to project constraints.
• Review, validate and coordinate design drawings and models produced by internal drafters and external consultants, and participate in the BIM management process by providing structural engineering input and ensuring technical consistency within models.
• Assess existing structures and define reinforcement, adaptation or modification solutions, and contribute to infrastructure maintenance and consolidation programmes through structural diagnostics, condition assessments, technical recommendations, maintenance plans and monitoring of structural pathologies.
• Prepare technical specifications, contribute to calls for tender in collaboration with Procurement, and manage framework contracts related to structural engineering services.
• Support construction phases through technical follow-up, site inspections and validation of works.

Requirements

• Master's Degree or equivalent relevant experience in the field of civil engineering or a related field.
• Demonstrated experience in civil engineering design and structural calculations, in particular reinforced and prestressed concrete, structural steel, and special civil works (e.g. diaphragm walls, Berlin-type retaining walls).
• Experience in road and infrastructure design, structural assessment and monitoring, cost estimation of construction works, and feasibility and preliminary studies.
• Good knowledge of underground structures and works (technical galleries, tunnels and caverns) would be an asset.
• First experience in hydraulic calculations and network design would be an asset.
• Use of office software packages.
• Spoken and written English or French, with a commitment to learn the other language.
• A valid driving licence.
• Ability to work in Radiation Areas.
• Ability to perform interventions in underground installations.
