AUXILIAR DEPARTAMENTO CONTABLE

Reference : 2023-FIX-40

Deadline : 13 / 04 / 2025

ALBA is the Spanish synchrotron light source, a large research infrastructure operating ten beamlines, complementary facilities, and an Electron Microscopy Center, this last in partnership with other institutions. Currently constructing multiple more beamlines, expanding the Electron Microscopy Center, and integrating advanced data analytics, it sums up a wide range of infrastructures geared toward finding solutions to societal challenges.

Located in Cerdanyola del Vallès (Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain), it is funded by the Spanish Government (Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación) and the Catalan Government (Generalitat de Catalunya, Departament de Recerca i Universitats). The synchrotron light produced by 3 GeV electrons is used by thousands of researchers to analyse and understand the properties and functionality of matter, spanning a wide variety of fields, such as catalytic research, health, energy production / storage, environmental research, communication technologies, or cultural heritage.

Our highly motivated staff works in a multidisciplinary work environment with an atmosphere formed by lived diversity, inclusion and respect for our colleagues. One of the goals of our gender equality plan is to reach parity within the Consortium’s different divisions and offices, and several actions have been taken to encourage applications from women mostly in scientific, engineer and technical job positions.

Located close to Barcelona in a natural park and well connected by car and public transportation, with excellent connectivity to the world and an employer who understands the importance of life-work balance.

Facing an upgrade to ALBA II, a 4th generation facility, which will increase dramatically brightness and coherent flux, ALBA is in a phase of growth and dynamics. Being a part of the ALBA team will promote your career and will give you the opportunities to explore new territories.

2. 3D and 2D Layouts: Develop detailed 3D models and 2D layouts for scientific instrumentation, equipment facility systems, subsystems, and infrastructure projects, including facility layouts, utilities, and mechanical installations.
3. Technical Documentation: Produce production folders, technical drawings, assembly instructions, and bills of materials following engineering specifications and standards.
4. Collaboration with Engineers and Scientific Divisions: Work closely with engineers and scientists to translate conceptual designs into manufacturing-ready technical drawings.
5. Revision and Version Control: Maintain up-to-date drawings, manage revisions, and data-base operation and management.
6. Supplier and Manufacturing Liaison: Provide detailed drawings and specifications to the ALBA workshop and suppliers, supporting both fabrication and assembly processes.
7. CAD Training and Support: Provide training and guidance on CAD tools and best practices to new team members, engineers, and other staff to ensure consistency and efficiency in design workflows. Offer continuous technical support to CAD users.
8. CAD Data Management: Organize and maintain a structured CAD database, ensuring consistency and accessibility of design files.

Requirements

This position is reserved for those candidates having the legal status of person with disabilities, with a degree of disability equal or greater than 33%. In case of one or more admitted applicants with this status of disability, these candidates will be evaluated at first. In the event that no candidate with the status of disability is finally selected for the position, the selection process shall continue and the rest of the applicants will be evaluated.

Selection Process Development

The selection will be carried out through the competition-opposition system. As a first phase, an analysis of the curriculum will be carried out (assessment of previous experience and / or scientific history, degree, training and other professional information relevant to the position). Career breaks or variations in the chronological order of CVs will be regarded as an evolution of a career, and consequently, as a contribution to the professional development.

The best rated candidates, at least two if possible, will be invited to an interview where the technical competence, knowledge, skills and professional experience linked to the position will be assessed, with a total score of 60 points. A minimum of 30 points must be obtained out of a total of 60 points to be eligible.

Provided they meet the minimum requirements and have ranked among the top five after the assessment of the CV phase, at least one person from the underrepresented gender in the division / office will be interviewed.

The interview will include at least:

1. Presentation of professional experience.
2. Auto-assessment of soft skills.
3. Languages other than English & complementary training.
4. Vision of the job position.
5. Motivation for applying.

The merits will be accredited by means of the CV attached to the application. The selection board may require accreditation by additional documentation, originals or certified copies confirming the experience invoked in the CV.

In case of a tied final score, the position will be awarded to the person who belongs to the most underrepresented gender in the corresponding Division and subsidiarily to the overall company.

If necessary, alternates of the members of the selection board will be appointed by the president of the selection process, and the change will be published in the announcement.

The resolution of the selection procedure will be carried out within a maximum period of six months from the deadline for submitting applications for participation.

The selection process may be declared vacant if the selection board considers not to have found eligible candidates for the position although they might meet the requirements to participate in the selection process specified in the offer.
