Your responsibilities
Come and join the team of operation of the Large Hadron Collider’s cryogenic test facility, a unique opportunity to work and test elements of machines that constitute nearly half the world’s stock of large helium liquefiers.
It is an unique and exciting place to work. Typical cryogenic systems comprise compressors, heat exchangers, valves, instrumentation, vacuum pumps, controls and various test benches for cables, magnets and RadioFrequency cavities.
As a member of the Cryogenics Operations team, you will:
• Be part of a team which commissions and runs the upgraded cryogenics testing facilities supporting the tests of cables, magnets and RadioFrequency cavities developed and qualified by CERN for future upgrade of the LHC machine in the Hi-Luminosity project
• Participate to the commissioning phase of the cryogenics system,
• Integrate a multinational team with a range of skills and expertise
• Get the chance to broaden your knowledge into new areas with advanced process control system
• Receive specific training and support for your professional development.
After a period of training at CERN for equipping you with the right skills, you will take on responsibility, on the ground, for operating the cryogenic system:
troubleshooting, emergency interventions, technical support, follow-up of contractor operation team depending on requirements and situations; updating the commissioning and operating procedures, in particular with respect to the safety rules.

What we offer
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.
