Success in this role will rely on your strong team spirit and ability to collaborate effectively.

**Functions**

In your role as a Mechanical Technician within the ATLAS Detector Operation (ADO) group of the Experimental Physics (EP) department, your functions will include:

- Commitment to mechanical activities on ATLAS detector consolidation and upgrade
- Installation of new sub-detectors involving specialized mechanical tooling and precise positioning.
- Installation of specific access platforms and standard scaffolding towers in various configurations.
- Participation in sub-detector movements requiring high positioning accuracy, as well as operating hydraulic, pneumatic, and electromechanical equipment.
- Manufacturing of parts and tooling using both conventional and CNC machines.
- Identifying issues, reporting them, and proposing improvements.
- Participation in the construction of ITk Pixel Outer Barrel
- Read mechanical blueprints and identify manufacturing methods.
- Propose relevant improvement to manufacturing methods for tooling and assembly procedures.
- Manufacture parts and tooling using both conventional and CNC machines.
- Participate in the production and assembly of the support structures and the cooling pipework.
- Perform and document quality control tests for detector components and assemblies, including dimensional metrology and mechanical tests; Take part in the analysis of the test results and the implementation of corrective measures when needed.
- Ordering components, tooling, raw materials
- Coordination of simple tasks (handling, frame assembly, logistics) with CERN collaborators

**Qualifications**
Higher technical diploma or equivalent relevant experience in the field of mechanics or electro-mechanics or a related field.

**Experience**:
Required Experience:

- Demonstrated experience in high precision mechanical assembly and manufacturing.
- Extensive experience in on-site installation of mechanical devices or structures.
- Strong experience in precision machining of metallic and non-metallic parts using both conventional and computer numerically controlled (CNC) machines.
- Good understanding of mechanical design drawings and tolerance specifications.

Initial experience in the following areas would be an asset:

- Operation of hydraulic, pneumatic or electromechanical equipment.
- Hands-on experience with structural joining techniques, particularly adhesive bonding.
- Performing dimensional measurements (conventional or measuring machine).
- Mechanical design using CAD software.

**Technical competencies**:

- Assembly of mechanical structures and equipment
- Manufacturing of mechanical parts
- Programming and use of CNC machine-tools and machining centers

**Behavioral competencies**:

- Working in Teams: working well in groups and readily fitting into a team; participating fully and taking an active role in team activities
- Managing Self: working well autonomously; taking on activities and tasks without prompting Using time efficiently and effectively
- Demonstrating Flexibility: being willing to move from one project/group/department to another Adapting quickly and resourcefully to shifting priorities and requirements
- Achieving Results: delivering high quality work on time and fulfilling expectations Being rigorous and producing quality results at first attempt

**Language skills**:
Spoken and written English in professional contexts; ability to understand and speak French or a willingness to acquire such skills quickly would be an advantage.
**Additional Information** Eligibility and closing date**:
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.
