Electromechanical Technician

As a versatile electromechanical technician, you will play a key role in the infrastructure upgrade and implementation of the ATLAS upgrade project (2026–2030). You will liaise with detector teams, contribute to decommissioning existing equipment, and participate in installation and commissioning of new rack infrastructure while supporting detector teams in their installation work.

Responsibilities

• Participate in the decommissioning of existing electronics racks.
• Contribute to the installation of new racks in the underground service caverns, including rack cooling and power distribution systems as well as ventilation turbines, to meet the future needs of the ATLAS detector systems.
• Participate in the commissioning of the racks and be responsible for the maintenance of rack cooling and power distribution systems, including spare parts management.
• Contribute to the assembly, installation, and maintenance of rack ventilation turbines.
• Support the upgrade and maintenance of the PLC-based Detector Safety System (DSS) hardware.
• Participate in cable routing and in the installation of electromechanical equipment for ATLAS detector infrastructure.
• Support the maintenance of common environmental control and monitoring devices (e.g., webcams, temperature, and humidity sensors, etc.).
• Support the operation, maintenance and refurbishment of the ATLAS surface facilities.
• Coordinate, in collaboration with the group responsible for Access & Alarms, the maintenance of the sniffer system used to monitor the concentration of smoke or flammable gas.
• Be part of the Detector Safety System (DSS) on-call team.

Requirements

• Demonstrated experience in the maintenance and assembly of electromechanical systems.
• Proven knowledge of electrical distribution, cabling, sensors and water cooling is required.
• Knowledge of ventilation and sniffer systems is an advantage.
• Proficiency in working on various projects in parallel.
• Experience in scheduling and coordinating maintenance work is an advantage.
• Higher technical diploma or equivalent relevant experience in the field of Electromechanics or a related field.
• A valid driving licence.
