Tänk dig vad vi skulle kunna lära oss om vi bygger ett mikroskop så kraftfullt att det kan titta djupt in i de material som universum är gjort av. Ett mikroskop som faktiskt låter oss se de atomer och molekyler som ämnen består av. Tänk dig de upptäckter som skulle kunna göras, vilka material vi skulle kunna utveckla och hur mycket vi skulle kunna lära oss om oss själva och vårt universum.

European Spallation Source ska bli världens mest kraftfulla mikroskop. Det är ett av de mest spännande, innovativa och banbrytande ”Big Science”-projekten under uppbyggnad idag. Forskning med neutroner ligger bakom några av de viktigaste materialen och innovationerna som förbättrar vår vardag, vår hälsa och vår miljö – och ESS kommer att vara det mest kraftfulla neutronmikroskopet när det är klart år 2027.

Andra har byggt teleskop som gör att vi kan titta in i rymdens djupaste områden. Nu bygger vi ett mikroskop så kraftfullt att det gör det möjligt för oss att studera de minsta föremålen – atomer – i minsta detalj.

Kom och bygg vetenskapens framtid med oss!

Du har goda kunskaper i och erfarenhet av att arbeta med flera valutor, budget och prognoser.

Därutöver har du utmärkta Excel-kunskaper (inklusive pivottabeller). Erfarenhet från Unit4 Business World (Agresso) ses som en merit. 

Som person tycker du om att arbeta med människor, och du har förmåga att kommunicera förbättringsförslag, rekommendationer och förändringar till dina kollegor på ett motiverande sätt. Du är självgående och har analytisk och organisatorisk förmåga. Du är också detalj- och kvalitetsorienterad, samtidigt som du levererar resultat och ser helheten för organisationen.

Erfarenhet av att arbeta i en internationell miljö är en förutsättning och du tycker om att arbeta med människor med olika bakgrunder. Goda kunskaper i engelska i skrift och tal är ett krav, då det är arbetsspråket på ESS.

Läs mer Maj 29
European Spallation Source i Lund ska bli världens mest kraftfulla mikroskop. Vi är en av de mest spännande, innovativa och banbrytande "Big Science"- projekten under uppbyggnad idag. Forskning med neutroner ligger bakom några av de viktigaste materialen och innovationerna som förbättrar vår vardag, vår hälsa och vår miljö – och ESS kommer att vara det mest kraftfulla neutronmikroskopet när det står klart i 2027

Hålbarhetsmålen är högt ställda på ESS. För processkylsystemet betyder det att återvinna värme och återföra den som fjärrvärme till samhället. För detta finns ett centralt kylsystem som försörjer hela ESS. Det är grovt uppdelat i tre delar, acceleratorn, målstationen och instrumentstationer. Delar av acceleratorn är driftsatt och snart börjar driftsättningen av målstationens kylsystem. I takt med att fler delar av ESS blir färdigställda behöver även drift och underhåll växa.

I gruppen ”Infrastructure Operations & Maintenance” finns drift och underhåll inom El, HVAC, Sprinkler och Kyla. Vattenkylsystemen drivs och förvaltas av en processkyla grupp på fem personer.


Om rollen:

I rollen som processtekniker förväntas du vara med i utvecklingen av kylsystemen. Med tiden kommer du lära dig hela ESS kylsystem, men du kommer ha extra fokus på målstation då denna tas i drift.  Du kommer att delta i överlämningsprocessen av kylsystemen, ta ägarskap av drift- och underhållsaspekterna samt delta i testning-/idrifttagningsprogram för tester av enskilda objekt såväl som integrerad systemtestning. Under denna period förväntas du skaffa dig kunskap om systemens olika delar, utifrån erfarenhet från faktisk drift och underhåll av utrustningen samt lära dig om de enskilda systemens beteende, med avseende på de olika driftlägena och övergångarna mellan dessa.

Om dig:

Du som söker har en relevant teknisk utbildning på minst gymnasienivå, gärna med någon form av påbyggnad inom process, energi drift och underhåll eller VVS. Erfarenhet av att ha jobbat med styrsystem eller teknisk bakgrund inom automation är meriterande. Det viktigaste är att du har ett tekniskt intresse och är nyfiken och ihärdig i att lära nytt.

Du förväntas vara självmotiverad, organiserad och ha förmåga att arbeta självständigt såväl som i grupp. Denna position kräver ett praktiskt förhållningssätt, en vilja att lära sig nya tekniker inom en mängd olika projekt och att bli en del av ett team med olika bakgrunder och kompetenser. Du måste ha god kommunikativ förmåga, vara noggrann och hålla en hög kvalitet i ditt arbete, samt vara beredd att ansvarsfullt ta dig an uppgifter med stor variation. ESS är för närvarande ett byggprojekt, men kommer att bli en anläggning för våra användare, externa internationella forskare, och därför är engagemang, god service och förståelse för andras behov viktigt.

Vi söker en ny kollega som trivs med att jobba i grupp, har utmärkt kommunikationsförmåga, som gillar att samarbeta med olika människor och som kan kommunicera på både engelska och svenska på hög nivå.

Intresserad? Det hoppas vi!

Ansök med ditt CV genom att klicka på "ansök" och följ instruktionerna på vår webbsidan.

OBS: Vi endast tar emot ansökningar på engelska via ESS webbplats. Ansök så snart som möjligt och ange referensnummer ESD-32236 på din ansökan. För vissa roller vid ESS krävs hälsokontroller och säkerhetsklarering, och detta kan därför komma att krävas i de avslutande delarna av rekryteringsprocessen. Den sökande förväntas vara lämplig för att utföra de tillämpliga uppgifterna för denna rekrytering.

The European Spallation Source is one of the largest science and technology infrastructure projects being built today. The project includes the most powerful linear proton accelerator ever built, a five-tonne, helium-cooled tungsten target wheel, 15 state-of-the-art neutron instruments, a suite of laboratories, and a supercomputing data management and software development centre. In the context of its history and future as a scientific organisation, however, it is more than the sum of its parts. It is a brand-new Big Science organisation and we are building it from the ground up.

Whilst others have built telescopes that allow us to look into the furthest regions of space, now we will build a device so powerful it will allow us to the study the smallest objects in the finest detail.

Come and build the future of Science with us!

About the role:

The ESS is at an exciting turning point. It is in transition from being a construction site, to being an operating facility. To help us realise our goal of being the most powerful neutron source in the world, we are now looking for an Enterprise Architect to join ESS.

As our next Enterprise Architect, you will drive the development of the Enterprise Architecture function at ESS, including governance structures, processes and tools. You will be enabled by the EA board and ESS IT governance committee, and collaboratively you will work with stakeholders across the entire organization to ensure that ESS holistically evaluates and implements information technology.

At ESS, no two work days are ever the same. One day, you could be collaborating with domain architects on a project recommendation - whilst the next day could see you driving the development of key EA deliverables, such as target architectures and decision principles.

About you:

To thrive with us in this role, you need to be driven, responsive and good at spotting both problems and opportunities. You need to be a highly motivated person who isn’t afraid to take ownership of the EA function with its processes and activities from day 1.

First and foremost, we need someone who is suitably qualified and experienced. Ideally, you will have good IT technical and architectural understanding and qualifications, however relevant experience is more critical than the type of qualification you hold. We really need someone with practical experience in working with architectural issues, high-level presentations and working groups, someone who has prior experience with enterprise architecture ways of working, but not necessarily someone who has formally held the role as Enterprise Architect in the past.

We attach great importance to personality and attitude, and as an enterprise architect you will be working across the organisation with a wide range of stakeholders at all levels. So, we're looking for a real team player: Someone who is sociable, has excellent communication skills, who likes to collaborate with different domain architects and who is committed to helping this amazing project realise its full potential.

We are building ESS from the ground up, so of course we need someone who is comfortable not only following procedures, but also creating them. We need a hands-on self-starter who is able to work in a structured, orderly, responsible and – most importantly – safe way.

The working language of ESS is English, so we need someone who can communicate fluently at the C1/C2 level as per the CEFR (Common European Framework of Reference for Languages) definition. This is a permanent, full-time role based at the ESS Campus in Lund, Sweden.

As a security controlled facility, certain roles at ESS require health and safety checks and/or enhanced background checks. These checks will be performed in the final stages of the recruitment process.

What can we offer?

Aside from the opportunity to work at one of a very few linear accelerator-based Spallation sources on the whole planet, you can also expect:


• An opportunity to contribute to the future discoveries within neutron science.
• A stunning, brand new workplace filled with innovative minds and brilliant people from across the globe.
• A challenging and exciting work environment.
• Market competitive compensation that is individual and differentiated according to role, responsibilities, individual skills, abilities and achievements.
• 30 days of annual leave, as well as more than 10 days of public holiday and company days off or days with limited working hours.
• Monthly pension contributions on top of your salary.
• Flexible working arrangements and a real work-life balance.

Interested? We sure hope so.

If you see yourself in what we’re looking for, please provide your CV and motivation letter in English by clicking on “apply” and following the instructions. Please be aware that we can only accept direct applications made via the ESS website.

We review applications continuously, so don’t miss out! Submit your application as soon as you can and quote the job reference numer ESD-18317 in your application.

Läs mer Mar 29
The European Spallation Source is one of the largest science and technology infrastructure projects being built today. The project includes the most powerful linear proton accelerator ever built, a five-tonne, helium-cooled tungsten target wheel, 15 state-of-the-art neutron instruments, a suite of laboratories, and a supercomputing data management and software development centre. In the context of its history and future as a scientific organisation, however, it is more than the sum of its parts. It is a brand new Big Science organisation and we are building it from the ground up.

Whilst others have built telescopes that allow us to look into the furthest regions of space, now we will build a device so powerful it will allow us to the study the smallest objects in the finest detail.

Come and build the future of Science with us!

About the role:

The ESS is at an exciting turning point. It is in transition from being a construction site, to being an operating facility. To help us realise our goal of being the most powerful neutron source in the world, we are looking to appoint two more operators for our Main Control Room. The Operations section is responsible for ensuring a well-organized and safe operation of the ESS neutron source by controlling and monitoring the facility from the main control room.

This is a truly interesting and diverse role that would see you being an integral part of the team which drives the world’s most powerful accelerator based neutron source! In terms of your day-to-day work, you will be part of a team of shift workers based in our main control room. Together, the team will ensure that the logbook for the shift is kept, perform accelerator tunnel search procedure as required, manage the keys to the personnel safety systems, work with technical systems groups and contribute to the development of the operations instructions, procedures and training and develop deep knowledge about the accelerator subsystems.

You will also have the opportunity to get involved in other technical and non-technical projects as necessary, and you will also act as a point of contact for questions concerning safety (radiological or conventional) when on shift.

ESS is a user facility and it will operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Therefore, working outside normal working hours is to be expected. 

About you:

To thrive with us in the Accelerator Division, you need to be driven, responsive and good at spotting both problems and opportunities. You need to be a highly motivated person who isn’t afraid to get your hands dirty!

Prior experience of working at an accelerator facility is highly desirable.

Our ideal candidate will have likely have worked in a similar sort of control room environment before. However, what we really need is someons with a strong programming and software development background (e.g. Python, C/C++, Java, etc.) If you have prior experience of working with EPICS, this would be a huge advantage!

We are building ESS from the ground up, so we need someone who is comfortable not only following procedures, but also creating them. We attach great importance to personality and attitude, so we're looking for a real team player: Someone who is sociable, has excellent communication skills, who likes to collaborate with different people and who is committed to helping this amazing project to realise its full potential. We need a hands-on self-starter who is able to work in a structured, orderly, responsible and – most importantly – safe way.

The working language of ESS is English, so don't worry if you don't speak any Swedish. For this role, we need someone who can start as soon as possible.

What can we offer?

Aside from the chance to work at a truly unique "big science" project, you can also expect:


• An opportunity to contribute to the future discoveries within neutron science.
• A stunning, brand new workplace filled with innovative minds and brilliant people from across the globe.
• A challenging, exciting and fast-paced work environment.
• Market competitive compensation that is individual and differentiated according to role, responsibilities, individual skills, abilities and achievements.
• 25 days of annual leave, as well as more than 10 days of public holiday and company days off or days with limited working hours.
• Monthly pension contributions on top of your salary.

The position is permanent with six-month initial probation period. Your work place will be situated in Lund, Sweden.

Läs mer Feb 13
European Spallation Source i Lund ska bli världens mest kraftfulla mikroskop. Vi är en av de mest spännande, innovativa och banbrytande "Big Science"- projekten under uppbyggnad idag. Forskning med neutroner ligger bakom några av de viktigaste materialen och innovationerna som förbättrar vår vardag, vår hälsa och vår miljö – och ESS kommer att vara det mest kraftfulla neutronmikroskopet när det står klart i 2027.

Hålbarhetsmålen är högt ställda på ESS. För processkylsystemet betyder det att återvinna värme och återföra den som fjärrvärme till samhället. För detta finns ett centralt kylsystem som försörjer hela ESS. Det är grovt uppdelat i tre delar, acceleratorn, målstationen och instrumentstationer. Delar av acceleratorn är driftsatt och snart börjar driftsättningen av målstationens kylsystem. I takt med att fler delar av ESS blir färdigställda behöver även drift och underhåll växa.

I gruppen ”Infrastructure Operations & Maintenance” finns drift och underhåll inom El, HVAC, Sprinkler och Kyla. Vattenkylsystemen drivs och förvaltas av en processkyla grupp på fem personer.

Om rollen:

I rollen som processtekniker förväntas du vara med i utvecklingen av kylsystemen. Med tiden kommer du lära dig hela ESS kylsystem, men du kommer ha extra fokus på målstation då denna tas i drift.  Du kommer att delta i överlämningsprocessen av kylsystemen, ta ägarskap av drift- och underhållsaspekterna samt delta i testning-/idrifttagningsprogram för tester av enskilda objekt såväl som integrerad systemtestning. Under denna period förväntas du skaffa dig kunskap om systemens olika delar, utifrån erfarenhet från faktisk drift och underhåll av utrustningen samt lära dig om de enskilda systemens beteende, med avseende på de olika driftlägena och övergångarna mellan dessa.

Om dig:

Du som söker har en relevant teknisk utbildning på minst gymnasienivå, gärna med någon form av påbyggnad inom process, energi drift och underhåll eller VVS. Erfarenhet av att ha jobbat med styrsystem eller teknisk bakgrund inom automation är meriterande. Det viktigaste är att du har ett tekniskt intresse och är nyfiken och ihärdig i att lära nytt.

Du förväntas vara självmotiverad, organiserad och ha förmåga att arbeta självständigt såväl som i grupp. Denna position kräver ett praktiskt förhållningssätt, en vilja att lära sig nya tekniker inom en mängd olika projekt och att bli en del av ett team med olika bakgrunder och kompetenser. Du måste ha god kommunikativ förmåga, vara noggrann och hålla en hög kvalitet i ditt arbete, samt vara beredd att ansvarsfullt ta dig an uppgifter med stor variation. ESS är för närvarande ett byggprojekt, men kommer att bli en anläggning för våra användare, externa internationella forskare, och därför är engagemang, god service och förståelse för andras behov viktigt.

Vi söker en ny kollega som trivs med att jobba i grupp, har utmärkt kommunikationsförmåga, som gillar att samarbeta med olika människor och som kan kommunicera på både engelska och svenska på hög nivå.

Intresserad? Det hoppas vi!

Ansök med ditt CV genom att klicka på "ansök" och följ instruktionerna på vår webbsidan.

OBS: Vi endast tar emot ansökningar på engelska via ESS webbplats. Ansök så snart som möjligt och ange referensnummer ESD-17539 på din ansökan. För vissa roller vid ESS krävs hälsokontroller och säkerhetsklarering, och detta kan därför komma att krävas i de avslutande delarna av rekryteringsprocessen. Den sökande förväntas vara lämplig för att utföra de tillämpliga uppgifterna för denna rekrytering.
