Mechanical shift operations technician
Contexte
The Institut Laue-Langevin (ILL), situated in Grenoble, France, is Europe's leading research facility for scientific research using neutrons. Every year, we host over 2000 visits by scientists, who come to the Institute to carry out world-class research. The ILL’s Reactor Division, whose role is to produce the neutrons needed to supply the ILL’s scientific instruments, is responsible for operating all the technical installations associated with the reactor.
Come and join one of the six shift teams (each comprising a shift leader and four operations technicians) belonging to the Reactor Division’s Operations Service, which has round-the-clock responsibility for the operation of our nuclear reactor.
