- Exciting opportunity to build your technical and professional skills at one of Australia's landmark scientific facilities.

**About the Opportunity**:
The Accelerator Operations team at the Australian Synchrotron has a vacancy for an inquisitive and self-motivated person. The Accelerator Operations group is responsible for the safe operation, maintenance, and development of the particle accelerator systems, and troubleshooting beamlines outside of normal business hours.

- Assist beamline scientists and users by troubleshooting beamline equipment.
- Assist in identifying faults with the accelerators and provide recommendations for improvement to maintain and improve accelerator performance.
- Act as first aid officers, building wardens, and contractor supervisors. Training will be provided for all these roles.
- Provide key problem solving and decision making for facility operations outside standard business hours.
- Provide training of staff, students, and others in the correct and safe operation of the accelerators.
- Manage statistics on system performance and faults that generate the facility's KPIs.
