About the company
At CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, physicists and engineers are probing the fundamental structure of the universe. Using the world's largest and most complex scientific instruments, they study the basic constituents of matter - fundamental particles that are made to collide together at close to the speed of light.
Responsibilities
- Develop and maintain the ATLAS installation schedules for Long Shutdown 3 (LS3), and actively participate in all schedule baseline changes resulting from the evolution of the LS3 programme.
- Monitor and review the progress of activities during planning meetings and in close collaboration with Project Engineers.
- Report any delays to the Technical Coordination Management and propose mitigation measures to recover lost time.
- Contribute to the maintenance and continuous improvement of the scheduling tools.
- Play a leading role in the quarterly status reporting process for the Phase-2 Upgrade projects, and assist the Upgrade Project Leaders in preparing updated schedules, progress reports, and schedule baseline changes.
- Supervise the ATLAS team responsible for developing and maintaining the interface with the ATLAS Oracle database. Collect requirements for the evolution of the existing ATLAS information-management tools and establish priorities for the maintenance and development activities of the small team of software engineers.
