The assistant engineer will be integrated into the LGCgE, Laboratory of Civil Engineering and Geo-Environment, which is a multidisciplinary research laboratory bringing together teams of researchers from several establishments in the Hauts de France region. He will collaborate with the various research teams at the Béthune site at the Faculty of Applied Sciences, in the fields of building heat and building materials. For the thermal part, the studies relate to the thermal characterization of materials, non-destructive testing, energy storage, bio-climatic envelope components, and air quality. For the materials part, the work concerns the understanding of the behavior of concrete and the development of eco-materials for the building from the valuation of industrial and/or agricultural co-products. The assistant engineer will be required to develop experimental protocols, participate in test campaigns, analyze results in collaboration with teacher-researchers, engineers, doctoral students and student trainees within the laboratory.

Conduct experiments or installations according to predefined objectives,
Develop or adapt procedures for using the devices,
Analyze the results of the trials, compare them with the objectives, adjust or modify the protocol,
Analyze and process the data with a view to their exploitation,
Train users in the implementation of experimental devices (training of trainees and doctoral students),
Establish plans or diagrams for a realization (mechanical, electronic, etc.), perform sizing calculations,
Adapt parts of equipment and carry out follow-up,
Ensure the maintenance of equipment and/or experiments,
Manage supplies for the operation and maintenance of experiments or facilities,
Follow, in his field, the evolutions of experimental techniques and train to implement them,
Monitor and control internal or external manufacturing or services,
Write technical sheets, a handling book, an analysis report,
Apply and enforce health and safety rules around the facilities,
Participate in the development of laboratory technologies,
Participation in research projects and contracts.
