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.
We offer challenging assignments in a wide range of areas and encourage applications from candidates will all levels of experience. Applications from under-represented ITER Members' nations and women candidates are strongly encouraged, as IO strongly believes that a diversified, equitable, and inclusive workplace is crucial in solving one of the most complex scientific and engineering projects in the world today.
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.

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 an Integration Engineer.
As an Integration Engineer your goals will include:
Performing physical (geometrical) integration & configuration management activities of layout including equipment, components, systems and structures within buildings on the ITER site. Providing input and technical support in the resolution of layout problems for the given scope of activity by collaborating with relevant technical units. 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 Engineering Services Department (ESD) provides the required skilled engineering resources or services, which are necessary for the successful completion of the ITER Project.
DOME Division provides technical support to the ITER project in the field of providing an efficient, reliable and high availability CAD infrastructure to the entire project, based on project requirements, quality and priority. 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 on different ITER units.
Key Duties & Responsibilities
Primary Responsibilities
Additional Responsibilities
Supports the assessment of Project Changes Requests (PCRs), Deviation Requests (DRs), Non-Conformance Requests (NCRs) ensuring the prompt implementation of the required changes in the layout as per design, assembly and construction requirements. Supports the development and management of integrated design/construction solutions for the implementation of transverse functions/requirements according to schedule of the areaโs final design phase. Provides expert criteria for physical integration-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 physical integration / plant layout on a complex construction project, preferably in a nuclear environment. Physical Interface Management: Identifying, specifying, designing, validating and maintaining physical (geometrical) interfaces between various equipment, components, systems and structures. Defining space reservation for pre-conceptual designs and investigate/resolve clashes at all levels of design maturity. Configuration: Controlling and documenting changes to project or system components. Codes and Standards: Understanding and applying industry, discipline or job-specific codes, standards, and regulations to ensure that products, services, and processes comply with applicable requirements and legal frameworks. Drawings/Diagrams: Familiarity in interpreting CAD diagrams. Continuous Improvement: proposing changes to processes and systems to enhance efficiency, quality, and productivity over time. Quality Management Systems (QMS): apply the applicable procedures related to your field of activity.
