Saint-Paul-lez-Durance, France

Overview

Are you looking for an exciting opportunity at the heart of an ambitious fusion energy project? Join our Assembly and Commissioning Support Division (ACSD) within the Engineering Service Department (ESD) as a Metrology Engineer.

As a Mechanical Engineer specialized in Metrology, your goals include:

Providing metrology expertise during construction of the ITER Tokamak components, assemblies and associated plant systems;
Ensuring deliverables are produced within a quality-assured environment that requires rigor and a systematic way of working;
Developing, under the leadership of your discipline manager, your skills and experience for the benefit of the Project.

Key Duties and Responsibilities

Primary responsibilities:

Collaborates with multidisciplinary teams by providing assistance and guidance in the application of metrology techniques, aiming to enhance communication and optimize workflows;
Defines measurements specifications and tolerances for a variety of needs during the assembly phase of the ITER machine;
Coordinates work activities executed by contractors ensuring requisite quality is delivered in compliance with defined procedures and safe systems of work;
Contributes to and reviews metrology procedures, dimensional and manufacturing inspection plans, metrology data/ reports, to ensure compliance with technical specifications in accordance with the ITER Dimensional Metrology Handbook.

Additional responsibilities:

Prepares concise reports covering topics such as progress, issues, lessons learned etc. to be shared with team members, customers and managers.

Please note that job descriptions cannot be exhaustive, and the staff member may be required to undertake other duties, which are broadly in line with the above primary responsibilities.
