The European Spallation Source ERIC (ESS) in Lund, Sweden, is one of the largest science and technology infrastructure projects being built today. The project includes the most powerful linear proton accelerator ever built, a five-tonne, helium-cooled tungsten target wheel, 15 state-of-the-art neutron instruments, a suite of laboratories, and a supercomputing data management and software development centre. In the context of its history and future as a scientific organisation, however, it is more than the sum of its parts. It is a brand new Big Science organisation and we are building it from the ground up.

Come and build the future of Science with us!

About the role

The Fluid Systems Group at ESS currently consists of twelve staff members, and is now seeking to appoint a new Instrument technician. The technician will play a vital part as ESS approaches Steady state operations in 2028.

The Fluid Systems Group within the ESS Target Division, is part of the ESS Operations and Machine Directorate, with responsibility to design, develop, procure, install, commission and test the systems needed to convert the energetic proton beam coming from the ESS accelerator, to neutron beams that are utilised for experiments.

Among the main responsibilities for this position are:

• Daily inspection of systems and components during operation, specifically instrumentation devices.
• Hands-on work, for example:

• Checking signals from instruments (pressure, temperature, flow, level etc.)
• Controlling instruments and exchange if needed
• Calibrating transmitters
• Controlling valves/actuators and exchange if needed
• Controlling pumps/compressors

• Preparing and performing preventive maintenance.
• Preparing and performing or leading exchange of components when needed.
• Training on maintenance tasks in mock-up before performing on-site.

• Supporting our Main Control Room if issues occur.

This is a permanent position with a six-month probationary period. It is an on-site position in Lund, Sweden, and we need someone who can start as soon as practically possible. In the future, this role may require some on-call duties and/or shift work, which will be compensated for according to our collective agreement.

It is an advantage if you are familiar with devices used in process industries such as temperature, pressure, flow, level measurement devices.

Furthermore, you have general IT and computer skills. You can communicate in English, as it is the working language of ESS, and would enjoy working in an international organisation.

As a person you enjoy communication and collaboration, both within and outside your team, and you would find it exciting to be part of this new group of technicians.

You find it important to plan, organise and take responsibility for your work, whilst following instructions and procedures.
