Floor Coordinator

ALBA is the Spanish synchrotron light source, a large research infrastructure operating ten beamlines, complementary facilities, and an Electron Microscopy Center, this last in partnership with other institutions. Currently constructing multiple more beamlines, expanding the Electron Microscopy Center, and integrating advanced data analytics, it sums up a wide range of infrastructures geared toward finding solutions to societal challenges.
Located in Cerdanyola del Vallès (Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain), it is funded by the Spanish Government (Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación) and the Catalan Government (Generalitat de Catalunya, Departament de Recerca i Universitats). The synchrotron light produced by 3 GeV electrons is used by thousands of researchers to analyse and understand the properties and functionality of matter, spanning a wide variety of fields, such as catalytic research, health, energy production/storage, environmental research, communication technologies, or cultural heritage.
Our highly motivated staff works in a multidisciplinary work environment with an atmosphere formed by lived diversity, inclusion and respect for our colleagues. One of the goals of our gender equality plan is to reach parity within the Consortium's different divisions and offices, and several actions have been taken to encourage applications from women mostly in scientific, engineer and technical job positions.
Located close to Barcelona, in a natural park and well connected by car and public transportation, with excellent connectivity to the world and an employer who understands the importance of life-work balance.
Facing an upgrade to ALBA II, a 4th generation facility, which will increase dramatically brightness and coherent flux, ALBA is in a phase of growth and dynamics.
Being a part of the ALBA team will promote your career and will give you the opportunities to explore new territories.
As a highly motivated and well-trained employee with a strong background in engineering, you will dedicate approximately 50% of your time to shift work, ensuring the safe operation of the accelerator. The remaining time will be spent supporting scientists in various activities. You will thrive and perform a meaningful role in this multidisciplinary, diverse, and international work environment.
Your responsibilities will include:During shifts:
Conducting survey activities within the Experimental Hall, including visual checks of equipment and addressing any alarms to ensure all equipment is in a safe and secure state.Supporting ongoing experiments in beamlines and laboratories, which involves basic troubleshooting of control software and hardware, scientific equipment, and vacuum systems, as well as assisting in experiment preparation.Ensuring that all safety regulations are strictly followed, monitoring compliance, and reporting any issues.Providing support to the accelerator operator in the control room.Documenting all interventions and developing new troubleshooting protocols for recurring issues.Non-shift activities:
For the remaining half of your working hours, you will be part of a beamline or laboratory team, supporting activities based on the needs of the facility and your expertise. These activities may include:Assisting beamline staff in the preparation of experiments, including creating 3D CAD designs and producing small parts using 3D printers.Assembling and testing instrumentation, including high-precision mechanical components, vacuum systems, and cryogenic systems.Performing vacuum-related tasks such as pumping vacuum chambers, preparing bakeouts, and testing systems using helium leak detectors and residual gas analyzers.Handling cryogenics-related tasks such as refilling liquid nitrogen dewars and equipment with liquid helium.RequirementsThe candidate should meet the following requirements:
Education: A technical or engineering degree.Shift Work: Availability to work in shifts.Licenses: Possession of a "CSN License Operator of Radioactive Installations" is mandatory for performing the role of Floor Coordinator.Languages: A good level of English, both written and spoken, is essential, as English is the working language at ALBA. A good level of Spanish, both written and spoken, is also required.Selection Process DevelopmentThe selection will be carried out through the competition-opposition system.
As a first phase, an analysis of the curriculum will be carried out (assessment of previous experience and / or scientific history, degree, training and other professional information relevant to the position). Career breaks or variations in the chronological order of CVs will be regarded as an evolution of a career, and consequently, as a contribution to the professional development.
The assessment of the CV in the competition phase will be scored up to 40 points, which will consider the following aspects:
Experience operating radioactive installations (10 points)Experience working at large scientific facilities (7,5 points)Experience working on rotating shifts (7,5 points)Professional experience with vacuum technology and cryogenics (5 points)Experience in safety regulations and/or implementing safety guidelines (5 points)Experience working with 3D printing or additive manufacturing (2,5 points)The best rated candidates, at least two if possible, will be invited to an interview where the technical competence, knowledge, skills and professional experience linked to the position will be assessed, with a total score of 60 points. A minimum of 30 points must be obtained out of a total of 60 points to be eligible.
Provided they meet the minimum requirements and have ranked among the top five after the assessment of the CV phase, at least one person from the underrepresented gender in the division/office will be interviewed.
The interview will include at least:
Presentation of professional experience 20ptsAuto-assessment of soft skills 10ptsVision of the job position 20ptsThe merits will be accredited by means of the CV attached to the application. The selection board may require accreditation by additional documentation, originals or certified copies confirming the experience invoked in the CV.
In case of a tied final score, the position will be awarded to the person who belongs to the most underrepresented gender in the corresponding Division and subsidiarily to the overall company.
If necessary, alternates of the members of the selection board will be appointed by the president of the selection process, and the change will be published in the announcement.

The selection process may be declared vacant if the selection board considers not to have found eligible candidates for the position although they might meet the requirements to participate in the selection process specified in the offer.
Other informationPermanent contract.
The Selection Board is composed by the following members: Klaus Attenkofer, Edmundo Fraga López and Montserrat Prieto Moliné.
