Practical information on procedural aspects and on how to apply is described here below (selection process and submission of applications).
Fusion for Energy is an equal opportunities employer and takes care to avoid any form of discrimination. As part of its commitment to diversity, gender equality and geographical distribution, F4E strongly encourages applications from female candidates and applies a policy of equal opportunities. It does not discriminate against anyone on grounds of gender, race, colour, ethnic or social origin, genetic features, religion or belief, political or any other opinion, membership of a national minority, property, birth, disability or sexual orientation. Fusion for Energy offers measures to reconcile professional and private life and will provide reasonable adjustments at the workplace for persons with disabilities.
As a member of the Engineering Analysis, Plasma Engineering & System Qualification the Technical Specialist will report to the Head of Unit (or to another Unit Head if better fitting with the skills of the selected candidate). The successful candidate will contribute to the successful delivery of projects through the execution, coordination, and oversight of technical activities across all project phases, from procurement preparation to implementation and qualification/acceptance, assembly, commissioning and operation. The successful candidate will play a key role in defining and applying technical standards, ensuring design quality, managing risks, supporting procurement, contract implementation and follow-up, and facilitating collaboration across stakeholders and project teams. When supporting projects the successful candidate will be assigned to the role of Technical E ngineer (TE).
Given the needs of the organisation, the candidate may be offered a position at any of the other F4E working places.
When acting as Technical Engineer (TE) key areas of responsibilities will include, but not limited to:

B3 Competencies The following competences will also be assessed:
The recruiting manager, together with a staff committee representative and additional members if deemed necessary/useful, shall be responsible for reviewing the qualifications, experience and motivation of the applicants and draw up a list of candidates who will be invited to attend an interview.
A job interview will be organised for short-listed candidates deemed most suitable for the job. The candidates shall be interviewed by the responsible Head of Unit and additional member(s) from the service if deemed necessary/useful. A member of the Staff Committee will also be present in an observer capacity to ensure fair and equal treatment. As F4E staff members will have already gone through more rigorous testing at the time of their original selection, the internal selection interview will be lighter than what is typically done for external procedures.
The shortlisted candidates will not be asked to sit a written/practical test.
No reserve list will be established for this selection. You will be informed of the outcome of your application, and the selected candidate will be reassigned to the new unit without any impact on their contractual conditions.
The date of effect of the reassignment will be determined so as to limit any disruption of service as much as possible. It follows that the new duties may be delayed until such time that a solution has been found to replace the employee selected through the internal mobility procedure. The replacement solution may come either through a new internal selection procedure, through the use of a reassignment in the interest of the service or of a F4E Reserve list or the launch of an external procedure.
Please note that the selection panel’s work and deliberations are strictly confidential and any contact with its members related to this selection is strictly forbidden.
Before submitting their application, candidates shall make sure that they fulfil all the eligibility and essential criteria as set out under point A and B of this notice.
