Context

The Institut Laue-Langevin (ILL), situated in Grenoble, France, is Europe's leading research facility for fundamental research using neutrons. The neutrons supplied to the experimental instruments are produced by the Institute's High-Flux Reactor and together these installations constitute the basic nuclear facility known as INB n°67. The ILL's Reactor Division is responsible for both the operation of the reactor and the deuterium/tritium recombiner unit and for the design and construction of upgrades to these installations.

Your tasks:

Reporting to the Head of the Reactor Division, and in strict compliance with the French regulations governing nuclear facilities, you will bring to the role your expertise in the field of reactor operations.

As Head of the Reactor Division's Operations Service, you will be responsible for defining and improving the organisation of this service and its tools and procedures, taking account of technical and/or regulatory developments and experience feedback, including from other nuclear facilities.

You will have the following duties:

Technical responsibilities:

• Define the specific operating requirements for creating new installations and/or modifying existing installations
• Monitor the availability of the reactor and its support systems and propose solutions in the event of operating difficulties
• Participate, in the event of a crisis, in the action taken by the Management Command Post (PCD- Poste de Commandement de Direction) or the technical crisis team (ETC - Equipe Technique de Crise)
• Prepare and submit the documents required for inspections by the nuclear safety authority
• Put in place the necessary processes and provide project management support
• Carry out or contribute to projects at the request of the ILL Management Board.

Managerial responsibilities:

• Establish and/or validate the priorities for planning the activities of the Operations Service and the ILL as a whole, incorporating risk management issues
• Prepare and manage the budget of the Operations Service as efficiently as possible
• Supervise the work carried out by the teams and monitor the achievement of objectives using the assessment process in place
• Take responsibility for the quality of service provided by the teams, taking corrective action where necessary
• Provide leadership and enhance staff employability by promoting the acquisition of new skills
• Optimise the allocation of resources according to needs and promote flexibility between ILL services
• Provide the necessary resources, tools and information, in compliance with health and safety regulations
• Ensure that information is communicated within the Operations Service in a relevant and targeted manner
• Communicate the ILL's strategy and priorities and make sure these are implemented by the teams.

N.B.

Your profile

• You have a Master's degree (or equivalent qualification) in nuclear engineering (or equivalent).
• You have at least 10 years' experience of nuclear operations in a French basic nuclear facility (INB -Installation Nucléaire de Base).
• 3 years' experience in a management and/or project management role is required.
• You have extensive knowledge of the nuclear sector and its design, manufacturing and operating regulations.
• You have excellent writing skills and a sound knowledge of French; knowledge of English would be a plus.
• You are meticulous, methodical and efficient and have the inquiring mind needed to maintain a healthy nuclear safety and security culture.
• You are comfortable communicating with different stakeholders.
• In addition to your skills, you have the personality to make a real difference.
