Two openings

Special note: We may consider candidates with fewer years’ experience for this position. The appointment to a position may be made at a lower grade if the qualifications and professional experience of the selected applicant correspond to a lower grade; the duties and responsibilities assigned will be adjusted accordingly.

Purpose

In this role as a Cryogenic Engineer, you will prepare and lead the construction completion, pre-commissioning and commissioning activities of the ITER Cryogenic Plant and distribution system, for given sub packages.

One position will focus on Cryogenic plant operation for testing activities, whilst the other will mainly focus on the Distribution process and network installed in the reactor building. .

Both positions will lead the construction completion, the preparation of the operating procedures to be issued and will be part of the commissioning team in charge of operational and site acceptance testing phase, as specialist of cryogenic processes.

Background

The cryogenic system (plant and distribution boxes) provides the cold flows to cool the magnet, vacuum and thermal shield system of the ITER machine. The cryogenic plant and distribution system is composed by industrial equipment’s such as, screw and centrifugal compressors, expansion turbines, refrigeration and distribution cold boxes and piping network, and sets of other industrial machines driven and monitored by a complex instrumentation and control architecture system. The plant is currently in the commissioning stage for the next 2 years, and will be in operation thereafter, while the distribution system in the tokamak building is ongoing and will enter the testing phase during the coming 5 years.

Key Duties, Scope and Level of Accountability

  • Together with Cryogenic plant Responsible officer, defines the Cryoplant System process description in preparation for the commissioning and operation;
  • Together with other groups responsible officer (Magnet and Cryopump), defines and implements the changes and procedures needed for the testing program for equipment qualification;
  • Manages and leads the implementation of project changes that are identified during the course of system testing which are required to reach defined requirement of the cryogenic system;
  • Defines and monitors the cryogenic plant and distribution system efficiency key parameters, to ensure the best achievable efficiency of cryogenic fluid production and distribution;
