Job Description

Are you a detail-oriented professional with skills in planning, logistics, and data analysis? Do you want to support large-scale scientific projects by managing schedules, resources, and technical processes? Join CERN to contribute to the LHC Long Shutdown (LS3) and the FAIR project, ensuring efficient coordination and execution.

As a Junior Planning and Logistics Coordinator, you will be part of a dynamic team and contribute to two major projects: the LHC machine shutdown and the CERN-GSI key collaboration.

LHC Long Shutdown (LS3)

The LS3 is set to begin in mid-2026 and will last approximately three years. During this period, new equipment will be installed in the tunnel, requiring meticulous scheduling, progress analysis, storage management, and logistics coordination.

FAIR Project

The FAIR particle accelerator facility in Darmstadt is one of the world's most ambitious and complex construction projects. CERN has developed a test facility to qualify the magnets for the Super-FRagment Separator.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Updating test planning schedules;
• Maintaining the test sequencer tool in EAM (Enterprise Asset Management) in collaboration with the colleagues who developed it;
• Updating EDMS (Engineering Data Management Service), Indico sites, and the FAIR website at CERN.

About us

At CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, physicists and engineers are probing the fundamental structure of the universe. Using the world's largest and most complex scientific instruments, they study the basic constituents of matter - fundamental particles that are made to collide together at close to the speed of light. The process gives physicists clues about how particles interact, and provides insights into the fundamental laws of nature. Find out more on http://home.cern.

Diversity has been an integral part of CERN's mission since its foundation and is an established value of the Organization. Employing a diverse workforce is central to our success.
