Specialised in
As a facility manager in the Business Services Unit, I am responsible for ensuring that technical and infrastructural installations are maintained according to the standards, that they are efficient, and that a well-functioning IT infrastructure is always present at CSCS. It is my task to keep the installations up-to-date and propose improvements where needed. This implies continued specific, individualised training depending on the sector of activity, which may vary between electrical engineering and cooling installation. Over the years I have spent at CSCS, I have had the opportunity to expand my knowledge of datacenter infrastructures, which is very different from a conventional technical infrastructure. I have also been able to refine and expand my knowledge in electrical engineering thanks to multiple projects and analyses carried out on the installations.

Working at CSCS means to me
For  me, working at CSCS represents a great opportunity and immense luck, as it gives me the opportunity to work with a competent team. I get updated continuously, and I have the opportu-nity to carry out diversified activities made interesting also by the evolution of the technologies.

What I like most about my work
CSCS offers a pleasant environment in which you never stop learning.

What challenges me at my work
My main challenge is to keep up with the ever-changing technologies and to continue to inves-tigate new topics to ensure that I am stimulated.
