Responsibilities:
The ESS is at an exciting turning point - it is in transition from being a construction site, to being an operating facility. To help us realise our goal of being the most powerful neutron source in the world, we are now seeking to appoint a Senior Technician for the Motion Control & Automation Group (MCAG). The MCAG is responsible for deploying PLC motion control systems to the Neutron Scattering Instruments, delivered by European in-kind partners to ESS. The task of the group is to develop standards for motion at ESS and work with partners to implement these across the whole facility. The focus of the group is to support the construction of neutron instruments in NSS.
The position requires expertise in Motion Control and PLC systems especially for the production, adaptation, installation, and testing of control systems and cables. The main areas of responsibilities in this position will be to:
- Guide and coordinate the Motion Control & Automation (MCA) related electrical installation efforts on neutron instruments within the Common MCA project:
- Establish and maintain supply chain, early procurement and spare part management for control cabinet components, cables and connectors.
- Manage manufacturing of motion control cables and customisation of control cabinets for the different Instrument projects.
- Supervise cable installation and termination, quality check and energisation
- Delegate, guide, train, and supervise a team of MCA technicians, contractors, supplier’s, and in-kind partner’s personnel in performing the tasks above.
- Electrical Safety Leader for motion control related systems within the ESS self-audit scheme for electrical installation.
- Support the engineering efforts of the MCAG in the different phases of the engineering workflow with practical competence, provide assistance in commissioning and training to fellow group members.
- Responsible for MCA workshop and cable handling area; plan and supervise installation and furnishing; perform regular safety checks.
This is a 3-year fixed-term position, with the possibility of future opportunities in the organisation. It is based in Lund, Sweden, and we need someone who can start as soon as practically possible.
