Mechanical Engineer Io0654 io0972

Fusion, the nuclear reaction that powers the sun and the stars, is a promising long-term option for a sustainable, non-carbon emitting global energy supply.

The ITER Organization (IO), based in the southern France, welcomes best talents who can together prepare the way to this new energy in a truly multi-cultural work environment.

As the IO attracts and retains people coming from a vast array of different backgrounds and cultures, discrimination and exclusion cannot be tolerated. The IO believes it is our diverse perspectives and background that gives unique strength and value to the ITER mission, regardless of race, member nation, gender, religion, status, sexual orientation, or disability - all are welcome and respected at ITER.

The IO is committed to fostering a fair and equitable environment across all areas of the project, including compensation and benefits.

ITER CARE Values (Collaboration / Accountability / Respect / Excellence):
We perform our work with care, we care for the well-being of colleagues, our families and ourselves, and we care about the health of the planet for generations to come. CARE drives our work and our behaviors at ITER.

**Language Requirements**:Fluent in English (written & spoken)

**Contract Duration**: Up to 5 years

**Overview**

**Are you looking for an exciting opportunity at the heart of an ambitious fusion energy project?** Join our Design Office and Mechanical Engineering (DOME) Division within the Engineering Service Department (ESD) as a Mechanical Engineer.

As a **Mechanical Engineer,** your goals will include:

- Performing the entire engineering life cycle (specification, design, qualification, procurement, installation, integration, commissioning and maintenance) for the scope of activity.
- Providing engineering input and technical support for the scope of activity.
- Ensuring deliverables are produced according to project schedule and budget, within a quality-assured environment that requires rigor and a systematic way of working.
- Developing, under the leadership of your discipline manager, your skills and experience for the benefit of the Project.
- The ESD provides the required skilled engineering resources or services, which are necessary for the successful completion of the ITER Project._
- The DOME Division provides technical support to the ITER project in the field of mechanical structures engineering. Being a member of the DOME Division, you will have the opportunity to share and develop your expertise with other colleagues working in the same discipline in different ITER units._

**The initial scope of activity for each position is**:

- **Surveillance**and resolution of in-field changes during the installation of piping systems, pressurized equipment and platforms in nuclear and non-nuclear buildings.**
- **Complex mechanical systems and components including lifts, hoists, cranes and confinement/shielding doors in nuclear and non-nuclear buildings.**

**Key Duties & Responsibilities**

**Primary Responsibilities**:

- Contributes to the delivery of mechanical designs and supports engineering activities for the scope of activity (e.g. vacuum, cooling, buildings, remote handling, rotating machinery etc.).
- Performs mechanical analyses, in addition to thermal and structural analyses of piping systems and mechanical components to validate the design.
- Writes technical documentation as required for the procurement, fabrication, qualification and testing of the equipment, prepare relevant tenders, and updates documents as needed.
- Follows up on the manufacturing for the scope of activity including qualification tests and final acceptance tests (FATs).
- Collects and verifies input data for the design of the assigned scope and reviews the deliverables produced by external design contractors.

**Additional Responsibilities**:

- Provides assistance to the Domestical Agencies, contractors and ITER groups to carry-out engineering, R&D, interface control and procurement work as required.
- Reviews detailed workshop drawings or any Installation Procedures, Inspection & Test Plans and the installation testing issued by the installation Contractor.
- Issues inspection and observation reports when and where required.
- Provides expert criteria for mechanical discipline related problems and follows-up on the resolution of the field engineering changes and installation non-conformances.

**Please note that job descriptions cannot be exhaustive, and the staff member may be required to undertake other duties, which are broadly in line with the above primary responsibilities.**

**Experience & Competencies**

**Essential**:

- **Proven experience** in Mechanical Engineering and/or mechanical components in the field of nu
