Core mission
You will join the ILL's 11-person Health Physics Group, reporting to the Health Physics, Safety, and Environ-ment Service (SRSE). The role of this multicultural team of experts is to ensure provision of the radiation protection for staff working on ILL's High-Flux Reactor installations.


Your tasks
As a member of the team, you will take an active role in the following:

? Preparing operations involving the risk of irradiation and contamination and ensuring radiation protec-tion for those involved
? Taking radiological measurements in the installations, performing analyses in the laboratory (in compli-ance with the 17025 standard), and interpreting the results
? Periodically testing the proper functioning of the health physics instruments
? Preparing documentation associated with your activity (instructions, reports and technical notes)
? Performing basic repairs to the conventional fixed or mobile health physics instruments
? Assisting with the provision of mandatory health physics training in French or English
? Assisting with the dosimetry monitoring for workers.

Following a period of training, you will be required to perform stand-by safety duties which are carried out outside the Institute's normal working hours.

Your profile
? Level 4 qualification (NVQ, BTEC, HNC or equivalent) in health physics or equivalent
? Some initial professional experience in a radioactive environment would be an advantage.
? Experience in a radioactivity measurements laboratory and experience in the use of the NF EN ISO/IEC 17025 standard would be appreciated.
? The ability to work both alone and in a team, with a sense of initiative and a methodical approach.
? You must have a sound knowledge of English. Knowledge of French is desirable; knowledge of German would be an advantage.
