The European Spallation Source ERIC (ESS) is one of the largest technology infrastructure projects being built today, and aims to be the most powerful neutron source in the world when it is fully operational in 2028. It will enable scientists to study the structure and behavior of matter at the atomic level, opening new possibilities for research and innovation in material science.

About you 

To thrive in this role, we believe that you have a relevant engineering degree, or education and experience that we deem relevant for the role, such as experience from industrial plants or equivalent. You have a minimum of five years’ working experience from the tasks mentioned above, and your knowledge on components, dimensioning, standards and directives, as well as the installation process, is good. 

Proficiency in the Aveva tool suite is a requirement. It is also beneficial if you have worked professionally as an Aveva Administrator before, but we would be willing to train a candidate who fulfils other requirements. Furthermore, proficiency in written and spoken English is a requirement.
