Closes Systems and Key Management Administrator

Project overview

Research for a society in transition: That is our driving force at the Research Center Jülich. As a member of the Helmholtz Association, we tackle the major societal challenges of our time and conduct interdisciplinary research into the digitized society, a climate-friendly energy system, and sustainable economic activity. Work together with nearly 7,700 colleagues in one of Europe's largest research centers and help shape the transition with us!

The protection of employees, the public, and the environment is an essential prerequisite for internationally successful and recognized research. At the Research Center Jülich, the Security and Radiation Protection (S) business unit is the central point for these tasks. Environmental monitoring, occupational safety, emergency preparedness and crisis management, radiation protection, and facility security are just a few keywords that describe the core tasks of business unit S.

The Facility Security department is responsible for preventive hazard prevention and the operational protection of the research center against damage events caused by third parties. In addition to general site security tasks, this also includes the protection of nuclear facilities.

If you would like to support us in these tasks and love daily variety and new challenges, you are a perfect fit for our team.
