• Works methodically, is able to organise own work, and meets deadlines, with a focus on efficiency in handling research-related tasks.
• Good knowledge of internal processes related to their files of expertise and other related areas. Experience in handling research equipment, precision instruments, and controlled environments is preferred.
• Knowledge of operational methods, systems, and practices for managing inventory and deliveries, including specialized equipment required for scientific applications.
• Good time-management and organizational skills, able to prioritize urgent interventions while maintaining long-term maintenance planning.
• High internal and external client orientation, with a strong ability to adapt to researchers’ needs and provide technical expertise for experimental work.
• Have worked with autonomy in the execution of tasks and missions assigned, including preventive and corrective maintenance of high-tech equipment.
• Have worked methodically, organised own work, and met deadlines, handling multiple requests in a research-driven environment.
• Have gained autonomy to interact and respond to internal clients’ requests and to deal with external providers, such as suppliers of laboratory equipment and service contractors.
• Has demonstrated the capacity to solve issues or problems within the processes or tasks under responsibility, troubleshooting complex technical challenges within a laboratory or production setting.
• Have gained a customer service approach, ensuring technical support to researchers while maintaining a proactive problem-solving attitude.

LANGUAGE SKILLS

• 
  Good level both written and spoken English and French

• Contributes to the achievement of operational objectives of their team. Performs routine and non-routine platform/laboratory procedures or tasks with autonomy and under limited supervision (e.g., sampling and testing, quality control of samples taken, filtering/cleaning/recording data, assistance for analytical tasks, etc.).
• Keeps tools (such as vacuum pumps, high-precision instruments, and automation systems), equipment, and lab/platform installations in proper working order and carries out general maintenance. May replace parts when necessary. Ensures the proper functioning of gas supply systems and cryogenic storage units.
• Contributes to the administration of equipment and materials, and the control of stocks, including managing critical spare parts and consumables essential to research operations.
• Organizes their own work to comply with deadlines and workplans of missions, adapting to the dynamic nature of R&D activities.
• Documents their work through manuals, experiment sheets, or reports that are predefined, with a focus on traceability and reproducibility of experiments.
• Problems and issues faced can be non-routine and may require some analysis to understand and resolve. May require the support of more senior colleagues or supervisor. In a research setting, this includes troubleshooting complex laboratory systems, identifying failures in equipment performance, and liaising with specialists or suppliers when needed.
• Proposes improvements to methods or processes. Discuss feasibility of proposals with team supervisor or more experienced technicians, particularly in optimizing laboratory workflows, enhancing measurement accuracy, and ensuring better equipment longevity.
• Communicates with work-related contacts within and outside the team to obtain or provide information. This includes collaboration with researchers to understand technical needs and ensure adequate support for experimental setups.
• Explains methods, procedures, or policies to others outside the team. Knows how to treat sensitive information, especially in handling proprietary research data and maintaining compliance with laboratory protocols.
• Respects and applies LIST-HSE rules. Alerts of potential dangers or risks. Takes care of their own safety and that of others, ensuring adherence to safety procedures related to handling gases, chemicals, and high-voltage equipment
