Technical Engineer for Water Treatment Systems

The Technical Engineer for Water Treatment Systems will contribute to the analysis, optimisation and development of water treatment systems used for cooling and ventilation installations at CERN. The role ensures system performance, reliability and compliance with environmental and safety requirements, while supporting operation and maintenance activities.

Responsibilities

• Study, design and validate the performance of new water treatment installations or upgrade of existing water treatment installations.
• Contribute to the water treatment contract management, produce technical specification and all the documents for the tendering procedure for the renewal of the contract.
• Lead technical investigations and root cause analysis for complex or recurring issues affecting water treatment systems.
• Plan, coordinate and oversee preventive and corrective maintenance activities (by using the CMMS system), defining appropriate strategies and ensuring alignment with operational needs.
• Monitor system performance and follow up on activities, ensuring reporting on progress, schedule and costs.
• Technically coordinate contractors’ activities for maintenance and installation work, ensuring compliance with contractual clauses, technical standards and safety requirements.
• Ensure that technical documentation is complete, structured and up to date, in line with quality standards.
