Job Description

What you'll do

You will join CERN’s civil engineering team working on the proposed Future Circular Collider (FCC), a 91 km circumference machine planned to be housed in an underground complex up to 500 metres below ground in the Geneva Basin. As a senior civil/geotechnical engineer with proven expertise in the design and construction of underground civil engineering structures – such as tunnels, shafts, caverns – you will be responsible for all geotechnical aspects of the design and potential construction of the extensive and complex civil engineering required for the FCC. You will work on high-value, technically complex projects, including the preparation and management of large‑scale contracts, while collaborating with other disciplines to develop robust civil engineering solutions.

Your key tasks

  • Undertake numerical studies to support the preliminary designs and optioneering studies for the FCC underground structures undertaken in‐house at CER...
