Environmental Management Engineer

Company Description
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.
Job Description
Introduction

Are you an environmental management engineer, experienced in implementing solutions, familiar with associated regulatory requirements and best practices? Join CERN and contribute with your skills to the Future Circular Collider feasibility study. Take part!

Functions

As an environmental management engineer, you will work in close collaboration with the person overseeing the territorial scenario development of a future circular collider to plan, coordinate, check and adjust all activities relating to environmental initial feasibility studies.

More specifically, you will:

-Plan, coordinate, check and adjust all activities relating to environmental initial feasibility analysis;
-Create and put in place methodologies for environmental analysis and assessment including reporting in both host states together with industrial partners and host state notified bodies and services, in line with national laws and implementing international regulations, guidelines and standards. The activity includes the identification and consideration of transnational aspects;
-Perform tendering and procurement tasks to maintain and extend a consortium of experienced and competent industrial partners who carry out the domain-specific technical environmental analysis activities. Develop, implement, and monitor environmental policies and strategies in cooperation with academic and industrial partners, notified host state bodies and services to develop a project scenario that meets the requirements for project authorisation in the frame of a subsequent environmental evaluation process in both Host States;
-Manage the consortium of companies that assists in the management of environmental aspects and that carries out the environmental analysis processes in France and in Switzerland;
-Define and put in place a project-wide Environmental Information System (EIS) together with project team members;
-Develop and document a project scenario with good environmental performance applying the mitigation hierarchy, integrating the contributions of technical domain experts at CERN and at international collaboration level.

The selected candidate must be willing to travel frequently (mainly during working days) in the region.
