The Machine Directorate at the European Spallation Source (ESS) in Lund, Sweden, invites applications for an Interface Coordinator.

Description of directorate/division

The ESS Target Division is part of the ESS 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 utilized for experiments. The first step in this process is production of high energy neutrons through a spallation process involving the proton beam interaction with a tungsten target. The fast neutrons that are released in the spallation process are slowed down to the energies that are suitable for different types of experiments and then delivered to the instruments through beam ports. Key features of the target station are the target itself, the neutron moderator and reflector system, and the neutron beam-extraction system. The target station is composed of large, complex mechanical systems and associated cooling loops that operate in an ionising radiation environment, plus remote handling systems for servicing activated components.

Description of main responsibilities

Reporting to the Target Project Leader, the Interface Coordinator will be responsible for supporting the Work Package Managers in managing interfaces between Target Project work packages, as well as interfaces between the Target Project and other projects (Accelerator, ICS, CF, NSS). The Interface Coordinator will support WPMs in the development of requested changes to the project baseline. Duties include:  

• Interacting with all Target work packages to identify, resolve, and document all impacts of proposed changes on interfacing systems, both within the Target Project and with other projects

• Supporting WPMs in the preparation of Change Request documentation for the Target and Program Change Control Boards

• Documenting and archiving all Changes Requests in the Change Control Log

• Confirming that relevant Interface Control Documents are updated to be consistent with approved changes

• Following up on the implementation of approved changes in the project documentation

• Maintaining Level 2 Interface Control Documents with the other ESS projects

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in mechanical or civil engineering or similar technical discipline

• At least 7 years experience working in a project environment

• Knowledge of configuration management and change control processes

• Experience in nuclear industry or accelerator facility, or other radiation environment, is desirable

• Experience of working in an international environment is desirable

• Excellent oral and written English skills are a prerequisite; knowledge of other European languages would be an advantage

 To be successful and perform well in this position, you have the ability to deliver effectively under the demand of an ambitious project schedule.
