- Authoring and editing operational procedures.
- Participating in the coordination of accelerator maintenance activities, including issuing and processing work permits.

**Skills and Qualifications**
- Strong interpersonal, verbal, and written communication skills.
- Excellent problem-solving skills and the ability to think critically under pressure.
- Maintain a high level of safety awareness.

- Customer service experience.
