An important part of this role is the responsibility for and coordination of the radiological aspects of the facility operations. This includes the radiological commissioning of new parts of the facility, as well as the normal operation of already existing parts. The work also includes development and implementation of processes, procedures and instructions as part of the management system for radiation safety. In addition, tasks such as coordination and process development of activation and clearance measurements, as well as preparations for future decommissioning are included. Future inclusion in the facility radiation protection expert function may be a possibility.
Your main work tasks will be
- Work tied to radiological commissioning of new parts of the MAX IV Laboratory, as well as work tied to the radiological normal operation of the facility
- Managing commissioning plans and commissioning reports
