**Mechanical Maintenance Technician**

**Context**
The Institut Laue-Langevin (ILL), situated in Grenoble, France, is Europe's leading research facility for fundamental research using neutrons.
Within the ILL's Projects and Techniques Division, the Test Hall team of the Mechanical Service of the Experimental Halls is responsible for the assembly and maintenance of scientific instruments, in liaison with the Science Division technicians assigned to the instruments. Among other things, the Test Hall staff are responsible for the assembly and alignment of neutron guides, the assembly and maintenance of scientific instruments (excluding sample environments), as well as the lifting and handling of instrument components. More specifically, the team is in charge of maintaining and adjusting the instruments’ rotating machines.

- Perform repairs on the instruments (it is possible to volunteer for on-call duties)
- Draft and modify operating procedures for work operations
- Assist with preparing work schedules
- Prepare and carry out maintenance operations on the neutron velocity selectors and choppers (machines rotating at high speeds of 28000 rpm): purchase the parts required, replace high-precision bearings, and assist with testing and analysis of the results. Take on the role of assembler and adjuster as part of the 'Rotating machines' project team.

**Your profile**
- You have a Level 4 qualification (NVQ, BTEC, HND or equivalent) in mechanical engineering or industrial maintenance, or equivalent experience.
- You have experience in mechanical maintenance, including on heavy-duty equipment.
- You have practical experience of turning and conventional milling on simple parts for making adjustments.
- You have experience in installing precision bearings.
- Knowledge of pneumatics and vacuum technology would be an advantage.
