Are you interested in working in this international organisation?
Core mission
You will join the team of four technicians and one engineer in our Environmental Monitoring Laboratory, which is part of the ILL’s Health Physics, Safety and Environment Service (SRSE) and is responsible for environmental radiation monitoring on and in the vicinity of the ILL site.
Your tasks
In your role as an environmental monitoring technician, you will have the following duties:
- Take and analyse environmental samples on the basis of predefined procedures (ϒ/α/β spectrometry, liquid scintillation ); critically analyse the results of measurements
- Draft procedures and instructions and update them as and when necessary (in the light of audits, regulations, standards, lessons learned, etc.)
- Write reports and assessments on environmental monitoring activities and contribute to the preparation of the annual report
- Take samples and perform measurements in the field as required during radiological emergencies and emergency response exercises (use of laboratory vehicles).
In your role as a metrologist, you will be responsible for the technical and administrative management of a pool of measuring equipment in compliance with the standard ISO 17025. You will be expected to:
- Troubleshoot, organise and coordinate the repair of equipment in the event of a malfunction
