EISCAT Scientific Association is looking for a PROJECT ENGINEER

EISCAT Scientific Association is seeking a Project Engineer for the 
ongoing EISCAT_3D phased array radar project. The project is currently 
in its Preparatory Phase, funded by the European Commission through 
their Seventh Framework Programme, which will continue until 2014. The 
Preparatory Phase involves the legal, governance, strategic, financial 
and technical work that is needed before the construction of the new 
radar system can commence.

The major role of the Project Engineer will be to facilitate the smooth 
progress of the technical work through coordination within the 
Preparatory Phase project consortium and EISCAT associates, with 
industry and with other partners. The primary responsibilities of the 
Project Engineer will be to coordinate and monitor the technical work 
packages of the project, to oversee the evolving technical specification 
of the new facility and to prepare for its transition into the 
construction phase, which includes negotiations with industrial partners 
regarding the mass production of the components needed for large antenna 
arrays. The Project Engineer needs to ensure that the schedule, cost and 
performance targets of the technical aspects of the Preparatory Phase 
project are met.

Candidates should have proven expertise and experience in radar systems 
or other large research infrastructures, as well as good organisational 
and communication skills and be willing and able to get acquainted with 
all the different technical aspects of the project.

The Project Engineer will be working in a highly competent team of 
people, devoted to research and to state of the art technical and system 
developments, with the aim to construct the world's most advanced 
scientific radar system within the coming years. The project engineer 
position is initially available for a period of two years, with an 
anticipated possibility of extension. The Project Engineer will be based 
at EISCAT Headquarters in Kiruna, Sweden, but the successful candidate 
will be expected to undertake some international travel on behalf of the 
project.

For further details about the position, please contact Ingrid Mann, Head 
of Projects at EISCAT. E-mail: Ingrid.Mann at eiscat.se.

Applications should be sent to ProjectEngineerNov11 at eiscat.se latest 
Monday 7 November 2011.
