Survey Engineer

As a survey engineer you will join the Geodetic Metrology group at CERN, where you will take part in the metrology and alignment of a wide variety of components used in the particle accelerators. You will be using state-of-the-art surveying tools and software to achieve the sub-millimetre accuracy necessary to achieve our goals.

Specifically, you will:

• Perform the alignment of various accelerators components in the injector complex and LHC tunnel, ensure the maintenance of the related geodetic networks;
• Perform metrology measurements at all stages during the assembly of accelerator components using laser trackers;
• Perform and compute “as built” measurements of tunnels and buildings of HL-LHC project using the laser scanner technology;
• Write the corresponding survey reports, and manage the relevant documentation;
• Improve and optimize related survey procedures, methods and software.
