Kelly Government Solutions is hiring for a duty technician on a U.S. Department of Energy contract with our customer in Menlo Park, CA. This is a contract to hire opportunity.

Job Description
The Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS) Directorate at our customer is seeking a duty technician with basic vacuum, mechanical or electronic experience to join their Technical Support team. Duty technicians are responsible for providing support to scientific users in each of our experimental hutches and for performing regular rounds verifying that all safety systems and measures are in place. The Duty technician provides support to scientists, engineers, and scientific users/research and monitors facility operation and logging of safety work permits when necessary. This position is expected to be detail oriented and to work under the general supervision of the duty technician supervisor and independently during swing and weekend hours.

The Duty Technician has daily and hourly facility rounds to make and then reacts to users and scientists as they request supplies, tools, or report problems that would then require escalation to a call-in list, the Building Manager, an Area Manager or the Duty Technician's direct supervisor. All work is approached with strict adherence to site-specific safety as well as work planning and control (WPC) protocols. When any safety event occurs which requires evacuation the Duty Technician will act as the Facility Point of Contact. Duty Technicians also provide Facility Search training to visiting and resident Science Staff.

Note: Position is expected to work holidays, nights, weekends, rotating shifts, and alternate work schedules (AWS), which may consist of 4-10s, or other shifts as needed.
