Imagine what we could learn if we could build a microscope so powerful that it could look deep inside the very materials that the universe is made from. A microscope that could actually let us see the atoms and molecules that substances are made from. Imagine the new discoveries we could make, the new materials we could develop and how much we could learn about ourselves and our universe.

The European Spallation Source is the mother of all microscopes! It is one of the most exciting, innovative and ground-breaking,” Big Science” projects under construction today. Research with neutrons lies behind some of the most important materials and innovations which improve our everyday lives, our health and our environment – and ESS will be the most powerful neutron microscope when fully operational in 2027.

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.

About the position

ESS has, together with several other parties, secured funding for a European research programme, FlexRICAN, part of Horizon-2023 Europe, which is a major funding programme of the EU for research and innovation projects.

The FlexRICAN project brings together several landmark Research Infrastructures (RIs) that have, or will have, when in operation different usages of energy; ESS in Sweden, the Extreme Light Infrastructure with facilities in Czech Republic and Hungary, and the European Magnetic Field Laboratory with facilities in France, Netherlands and Germany. Two key actors of the energy sector, Alfa Laval (Sweden) and Energy Pool (France) are also among the partners involved in the project.

The RIs and partners involved will unite their strengths to optimise their ongoing and future sustainability and energy projects. They will demonstrate that the RIs, as electro-intensive actors, can develop a global energy approach, delivering services to the European electrical grid through optimised energy flexibility, and to local heating networks by developing waste heat recovery projects. Through the development of a multi-energy approach, FlexRICAN will propose new technologies and solutions to increase resource use efficiency and reduce environmental impacts of the RIs. The project will focus on assessing and validating the implementation of new solutions and technologies at the three RIs involved.

Some examples of scientific objectives:


• Providing an efficient solar power generation through the optimisation of equipment.
• Ensuring a powerful energy storage system.
• Developing a methodology to optimise waste heat recovery projects.

For this project we are now in search of a Technical Lead who will function as project manager, building up and leading a small team. Together you will work with the allocation and coordination of all resources, human and financial, to reach the project objectives within the pre-defined contractual and time frames. The tasks will include project management in the following areas: Financial, contractual, communication, quality, risk, data and other administrative areas.

This position will include travel within the EU on a regular basis. It is a 3-year fixed-term position based in Lund, Sweden, and we need someone who can start as soon as practically possible.

About you:

The successful candidate has an education in the technical area, at university level or other level that we deem relevant. You also have work experience from the technical field. Furthermore, you have documented project management experience and leadership experience. It is an advantage if you have experience from working with, or a strong interest in, matters concerning energy and sustainability.

While existing ESS staff will support you in this role, and preparatory work for the project has been carried out, it is vital that you are self-driven and have the ability to take initiatives. You enjoy collaborating with internal and external stakeholders, including giving presentations and leading meetings. You are solution oriented and can see the big picture even if setbacks occur.

Experience from an international environment and fluency in written and spoken English is required.

What can we offer?

Aside from the chance to work at a truly unique "Big Science" project, you can also expect:


• An opportunity to contribute to the future discoveries within science.
• A stunning, brand new workplace filled with innovative minds and brilliant people from across the globe.
• A challenging, exciting and fast-paced work environment.
• Market competitive compensation that is individual and differentiated according to role, responsibilities, individual skills, abilities and achievements.
• 30 days of annual leave, as well as more than 10 days of public holiday and company days off or days with limited working hours.
• Monthly pension contributions on top of your salary.
• Flexible working arrangements and a real work-life balance.

Interested? We sure hope so.

European Spallation Source i Lund ska bli världens mest kraftfulla mikroskop. Vi är en av de mest spännande, innovativa och banbrytande "Big Science"- projekten under uppbyggnad idag. Forskning med neutroner ligger bakom några av de viktigaste materialen och innovationerna som förbättrar vår vardag, vår hälsa och vår miljö – och ESS kommer att vara det mest kraftfulla neutronmikroskopet när det står klart i 2027.

Andra har byggt teleskop som gör att vi kan titta in i rymdens djupaste områden, och nu bygger vi ett mikroskop som är så kraftfullt att vi faktiskt kan studera de minsta objekten – atomer – i minsta detalj.

Kom och bygg vetenskapens framtid med oss!

Om rollen:

Vill du ta hand om världens mest kraftfulla neutronkälla? Vi söker maskinoperatör med säkerhet i fokus för att driva vår partikelaccelerator in i framtiden. 

Du kommer främst att arbeta med varierande arbetsuppgifter. I stora drag kommer arbetet bland annat att innefatta:


• Ta del av skiftteamet 24/7 som driver vår accelerator.
• Övervaka driften av protonacceleratorn och strållinjerna till de experimentanläggningarna på skiftbasis, vilket säkerställer ett säkert genomförande.
• Arbeta med våra fysiker och forskare att sätta upp acceleratordriften
• Designa, dokumentera, driftsätta och optimera olika operationsscenarier;
• Hjälpa det infrastrukturteamet med driften av ESS:s tekniska infrastruktur, när det behövs.

ESS har öppet dygnet runt och har treskiftsschema. Därför behöver vi dig som kan arbeta roterande morgon-, kvälls- och nattskift.

Om du:

För att lyckas i rollen som maskinoperatör ser vi gärna att du har en färdig utbildning från gymnasium med inriktning industri eller arbetserfarenhet från industri, el kraftverk eller större anläggningar.

Vi söker någon som har tidigare erfarenhet av att använda känsliga, advancerade och värdefulla maskiner. Du bör vara en försiktig, noggrann person med hög hänsyn till säkerhet. Vår maskin är unik och har potential att orsaka allvarlig skada på vår personal och miljön om misstag görs. Därför söker vi dig som sätter säkerheten främst. Det är meritande om du är intresserad av vetenskap.

Erfarenhet inom partikelaccelerator behövs inte - vi kommer lära dig detta. Så, vi hoppas att du vill lära dig ny, spännande kompetens!

Vi söker en ny kollega som trivs med att jobba i grupp, har utmärkt kommunikationsförmåga, som gillar att samarbeta med olika människor och som kan kommunicera på både engelska och svenska på hög nivå.

About the role:

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 Main Control Room Shift Leaders for the Operations Group. If you would like to be part of the team driving the world’s most powerful accelerator based neutron source, this is your opportunity. As our next shift leader, you would be responsible for ensuring the safe operation of the ESS neutron source and technical infrastructure.

At ESS, no two work days are the same. Our shift leaders ensure that the operational limits and conditions are followed, authorize changes in the beam mode and destination inside the current operational limits and condition, chair daily meetings to coordinate and authorize daily work/access to operational areas, supervise and guide the work of the operators, ensure that the local rules for operational areas (within the scope of the main control room) are followed and also monitor and issue keys to the Personnel Safety System (PSS) controlled areas. Of course, you will also need to ensure that the logbook for the shift is kept.

This role operates on a shift pattern, and working outside normal working hours and on-call is to be expected.

About you:

 

To thrive with us in Operations you need to be driven, responsive and good at spotting both problems and opportunities. You need to be a highly motivated person who isn’t afraid to get your hands dirty.

First and foremost, we need someone who is suitably qualified and experienced. Ideally, you'll have a technical degree (Bachelors or higher) in physics, engineering or computer sciences.

We are building ESS from the ground up, so we need someone who is comfortable not only following procedures, but also creating them. We attach great importance to personality and attitude, so we're looking for a real team player: Someone who is sociable, has excellent communication skills, who likes to collaborate with different people and who is committed to helping this amazing project to realise its full potential. We need a hands-on self-starter who is able to work in a structured, orderly, responsible and – most importantly – safe way.

The working language of ESS is English, so don't worry if you don't speak any Swedish. For this role, we need someone who can start as soon as possible.

What can we offer?

Aside from the chance to work at a truly unique "big science" project, you can also expect:

Imagine what we could learn if we could build a machine so powerful that it could look deep inside the very materials that the universe is made from. A device that could actually let us see the atoms and molecules that make up the structure of substances. Imagine the new discoveries we could make, the new materials we could develop and how much we could learn about ourselves and our universe.

The European Spallation Source 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 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 seeking to appoint an Instrument Scientist to join the Instrument Scientists Group (ISG) at ESS - which is currently leading the construction projects of the 15 neutron instruments that will make use of the high intensity neutron beams to study the structure and dynamics of matter and materials.

As our next instrument scientist, you will lead the the VESPA instrument project to oversee the completion of design, building, and commissioning of the instrument and - in the future - its operation in collaboration with ESS staff and user community. VESPA is a thermal neutron vibrational spectrometer, and will be used in a wide range of chemistry, physics and materials science as well as their applications. The ESS brilliance into the thermal range will be sufficient to match the leading neutron vibrational spectrometers in intensity and resolution in the so-called “fingerprint region” (60-220 meV), a range most important to identify functional groups. This represents a great scientific opportunity in the area of in situ measurements for catalysis and renewable energies not only for basic but also for applied scientific research. The instrument requires completion of design (particularly for the secondary spectrometer), installation, and a commissioning period before delivery to the ESS user programme.

Within the role, you will provide expertise in the scientific application of neutron vibrational spectroscopy (NVS) and in NVS method development. This means collaborating with the VESPA Lead Engineer and our in-kind partner CNR to plan, manage and execute the completion of the design, the installation, and the commissioning of the VESPA instrument. In the future, we also expect that you will work with the Science directorate, our partner CNR, and our user community to prepare “First Science” experiments to be carried out during the initial operation phase of ESS and also provide support the user programme at ESS by performing local contacting duties and collaborative research.

This is a fixed-term position for a period of 3-years - with the possibility of an extension - and is based at the ESS Campus in Lund, Sweden.

About you:

To thrive with us in the Instrument Scientists Group, you need to be a self-motivated person who is keen to support an instrument team in order to get it ready for first neutrons. You should be a ‘hands-on’ person who is open to learn new things along the way.

First and foremost, we need someone who is suitably qualified and experienced. Ideally, this means a PhD in physical, chemical or materials sciences with research interests and a publication record aligned with the science case of the VESPA instrument. Experience and technical interest in instrumentation and neutron vibrational spectroscopy, preferably using time of flight techniques is a prerequisite for this role. The position will involve frequent travel to CNR, ISIS and SNS until the hot commissioning phase.

Any additional prior experience or knowledge working with neutron scattering instrumentation, data treatment and modelling at a level sufficient to guide the development of instrument specific software, programming experience - preferably in Python - or experience with neutron optics and Monte Carlo ray tracing simulations would be a distinct advantage.

We are building ESS from the ground up, so we need someone who is comfortable not only following procedures, but also creating them. We attach great importance to personality and attitude, so we're looking for a real team player: Someone who is sociable, has excellent communication skills, who likes to collaborate with different people and who is committed to helping this amazing project to realise its full potential. We need a hands-on self-starter who is able to work in a structured, orderly, responsible and – most importantly – safe way.

The working language of ESS is English but it would be great if you could also work in Swedish as well. For this role, we need someone who can start as soon as possible!

If you see yourself in what we’re looking for, please provide your CV and motivation letter in English by clicking on “apply” and following the instructions. Please be aware that we can only accept direct applications made via the ESS website.

Certain roles at ESS require health and safety checks and/or security clearance procedures, which will be performed as part of the recruitment process.

We review applications continuously, so don’t miss out! Submit your application as soon as you can and quote the job reference number ESD-32787 in your application.

European Spallation Source i Lund ska bli världens mest kraftfulla mikroskop. Vi är en av de mest spännande, innovativa och banbrytande "Big Science"- projekten under uppbyggnad idag. Forskning med neutroner ligger bakom några av de viktigaste materialen och innovationerna som förbättrar vår vardag, vår hälsa och vår miljö – och ESS kommer att vara det mest kraftfulla neutronmikroskopet när det står klart i 2027

Hålbarhetsmålen är högt ställda på ESS. För processkylsystemet betyder det att återvinna värme och återföra den som fjärrvärme till samhället. För detta finns ett centralt kylsystem som försörjer hela ESS. Det är grovt uppdelat i tre delar, acceleratorn, målstationen och instrumentstationer. Delar av acceleratorn är driftsatt och snart börjar driftsättningen av målstationens kylsystem. I takt med att fler delar av ESS blir färdigställda behöver även drift och underhåll växa.

I gruppen ”Infrastructure Operations & Maintenance” finns drift och underhåll inom El, HVAC, Sprinkler och Kyla. Vattenkylsystemen drivs och förvaltas av en processkyla grupp på fem personer.


Om rollen:

I rollen som processtekniker förväntas du vara med i utvecklingen av kylsystemen. Med tiden kommer du lära dig hela ESS kylsystem, men du kommer ha extra fokus på målstation då denna tas i drift.  Du kommer att delta i överlämningsprocessen av kylsystemen, ta ägarskap av drift- och underhållsaspekterna samt delta i testning-/idrifttagningsprogram för tester av enskilda objekt såväl som integrerad systemtestning. Under denna period förväntas du skaffa dig kunskap om systemens olika delar, utifrån erfarenhet från faktisk drift och underhåll av utrustningen samt lära dig om de enskilda systemens beteende, med avseende på de olika driftlägena och övergångarna mellan dessa.

Om dig:

Du som söker har en relevant teknisk utbildning på minst gymnasienivå, gärna med någon form av påbyggnad inom process, energi drift och underhåll eller VVS. Erfarenhet av att ha jobbat med styrsystem eller teknisk bakgrund inom automation är meriterande. Det viktigaste är att du har ett tekniskt intresse och är nyfiken och ihärdig i att lära nytt.

Du förväntas vara självmotiverad, organiserad och ha förmåga att arbeta självständigt såväl som i grupp. Denna position kräver ett praktiskt förhållningssätt, en vilja att lära sig nya tekniker inom en mängd olika projekt och att bli en del av ett team med olika bakgrunder och kompetenser. Du måste ha god kommunikativ förmåga, vara noggrann och hålla en hög kvalitet i ditt arbete, samt vara beredd att ansvarsfullt ta dig an uppgifter med stor variation. ESS är för närvarande ett byggprojekt, men kommer att bli en anläggning för våra användare, externa internationella forskare, och därför är engagemang, god service och förståelse för andras behov viktigt.

Vi söker en ny kollega som trivs med att jobba i grupp, har utmärkt kommunikationsförmåga, som gillar att samarbeta med olika människor och som kan kommunicera på både engelska och svenska på hög nivå.

Intresserad? Det hoppas vi!

Ansök med ditt CV genom att klicka på "ansök" och följ instruktionerna på vår webbsidan.

OBS: Vi endast tar emot ansökningar på engelska via ESS webbplats. Ansök så snart som möjligt och ange referensnummer ESD-32236 på din ansökan.

As we continue to restructure our organisation in the lead up to first neutrons in 2025, we now looking to appoint our next Group Leader for Technical Projects within our Neutron Scattering Systems (NSS) Division. The Technical Projects Group is responsible for management of engineering of the neutron scattering instruments, design and manufacturing of the neutron bunker and radiation shielding, design support for instrument technologies, delivery of electrical and utilities infrastructure and the integration of instrument electrical systems.

As Group Leader for NSS Technical Projects, you will have the responsibility to continue driving a strong project management culture in the group, ensuring that the NSS subproject can be delivered on schedule and within budget. The role-specific tasks are therefore centred around managing and leading the NSS technical projects team, and will include: recruiting engineering and technical staff; identifying needs for mechanical and electrical engineering support to dependent project teams (including external partners); and maintaining oversight of budgets, schedules, and resources for the group.

The Technical Projects Group Leader serves the point of contact for mid-level technical and engineering coordination between NSS and other engineering functions at ESS- which includes conventional facilities, Target, Accelerator, the installation part of Project Office, EIS and the Engineering Office.

This is a permanent, full-time, on-site role based at the ESS campus in Lund, Sweden.

About you:

This Group Leader role at ESS is a management level position. As such, we are seeking a well-qualified, highly motivated person who is truly excited by the chance to serve as an engineering leader for the NSS division and who can bring significant, demonstrable experience in supervising a diverse mix of staff and contractors in the delivery of the portfolio of technical projects of the group.

We imagine that the successful candidate would have a minimum of a master's degree in an engineering field, and several years of experience from working in engineering projects. We also need someone who can bring significant, demonstrable experience of leading - and building - cohesive, highly functioning teams of more than 10 direct reports.

This is a high-profile, specialised and technical role within a pan-European scientific collaboration. As such, the successful candidate must have the experience needed to manage the engineering workload related to the NSS technical projects to ensure that engineering solutions are provided for both the neutron instrument projects and related technical infrastructure. Ideally, you will have prior experience of working with neutron scattering instruments at a similar scientific infrastructure, and have prior experience of working with in-kind partners located in multiple countries.

As we are soon making the transition from construction to operations, we need someone who can follow procedures, but also create and improve them. We need a real team player: Someone who has excellent communication skills, who likes to collaborate with different people, and who is committed to helping this exciting project to realise its full potential. We want a hands-on self-starter who is able to work in a structured, orderly, and safe way.

The working language of ESS is English, but for this role it would be a distinct advantage if you were fluent in both English and Swedish. The start date is negotiable, but we are looking for someone who can start no later than 1st of October 2023 if possible.

What can we offer?

Aside from the chance to work at truly unique big science project, you can also expect:


• An opportunity to contribute to the future discoveries within neutron science.

Imagine what we could learn if we could build a microscope so powerful that it could look deep inside the very materials that the universe is made from. A microscope that could actually let us see the atoms and molecules that substances are made from. Imagine the new discoveries we could make, the new materials we could develop and how much we could learn about ourselves and our universe.

The European Spallation Source is the mother of all microscopes! It is one of the most exciting, innovative and ground-breaking, ”Big Science” projects under construction today. Research with neutrons lies behind some of the most important materials and innovations which improve our everyday lives, our health and our environment – and ESS will be the most powerful neutron microscope when fully operational in 2027.
