Structural Civil Engineer

Job description

What you'll do As a Structural Civil Engineer, you will be responsible for the design, analysis and technical oversight of civil engineering structures throughout the project lifecycle, from feasibility studies to construction support. You will contribute to the development, maintenance and rehabilitation of CERN's infrastructure, ensuring structural integrity, safety and compliance with applicable standards while collaborating with multidisciplinary teams and external partners. You will join the Design Office Section (SCE-TOD-DO) within the Technical Office and Development (TOD) Group of the Site and Civil Engineering (SCE) Department, whose members participate in design, drafting and calculation support for maintenance and works for tertiary and industrial buildings. Your responsibilities Perform feasibility, preliminary and detailed design studies for civil engineering structures (surface buildings, underground installations, roads and utility networks), including structural analysis and dimensioning, seismic design, and the definition of structural concepts and technical solutions adapted to project constraints. Review, validate and coordinate design drawings and models produced by internal drafters and external consultants, and participate in the BIM management process by providing structural engineering input and ensuring technical consistency within models. Assess existing structures and define reinforcement, adaptation or modification solutions, and contribute to infrastructure maintenance and consolidation programmes through structural diagnostics, condition assessments, technical recommendations, maintenance plans and monitoring of structural pathologies. Prepare technical specifications, contribute to calls for tender in collaboration with Procurement, and manage framework contracts related to structural engineering services. Support construction phases through technical follow-up, site inspections and validation of works. Your profile Demonstrated experience in civil engineering design and structural calculations, in particular reinforced and prestressed concrete, structural steel, and special civil works (e.g. diaphragm walls, Berlin-type retaining walls). Experience in road and infrastructure design, structural assessment and monitoring, cost estimation of construction works, and feasibility and preliminary studies. Good knowledge of underground structures and works (technical galleries, tunnels and caverns) would be an asset. First experience in hydraulic calculations and network design would be an asset Master's Degree or equivalent relevant experience in the field of civil engineering or a related field. Your skills Use of office software packages. Structural design, analysis and verification of civil engineering structures, including the design of industrial and institutional buildings integrating functional and technical requirements, complex equipment loads, networks and operational constraints. Structural assessment of existing structures, definition of rehabilitation solutions, and management of preliminary design phases in coordination with technical disciplines. Cost estimation and control, with a good understanding of design documentation and coordination processes (Revit® and AutoCAD® environment). Builds and maintains constructive and effective work relationships. Delivers prompt and efficient service taking into account customer needs. Produces workable and timely solutions that meet requirements. Demonstrates a pro-active approach to resolving differences; addresses issues of conflict constructively. Adapts quickly and resourcefully to shifting priorities and requirements. Spoken and written English or French, with a commitment to learn the other language. Employment conditions A valid driving licence. Work in Radiation Areas. Interventions in underground installations. Be sure to meet the eligibility criteria You are a national of a CERN Member State or Associate Member State. Currently, we cannot consider applications from Pakistani, Lithuanian, Latvian, Cypriot and Croatian nationals, as the ceiling defined under Article II.5 of the Associate Membership Agreement has been reached. You have relevant qualifications and professional experience. If you have previously held a Staff contract at CERN, you will not be eligible for these positions.
