Under the direct responsibility of the thematic pilot, and in connection with the project team within the CEA, in Nantes and Grenoble, your main objectives as coordinator will be:

• Ensure the coordination and supervision of the implementation of the project and the follow-up of the work plan between the CEA teams, the European partners of the project, and the Coordinator of the European Commission,
• Implement preventive and corrective actions with regard to objectives, deliverables and planning constraints,
• Work in collaboration with a project management service company in the implementation and use of the management tools necessary for the management of the project (procedures, guides, standard document models, collaborative project platform),
• Prepare and lead consortium meetings, monitor the production of deliverables and participate in their proofreading as well as in the drafting of activity reports and periodic reports,
• Be the guarantor and ensure, in collaboration with Europe CEA referents, the exchanges between the consortium and the European Commission on technical and administrative aspects as well as on the budget monitoring of the project,
• Participate in external communication actions (scientific dissemination, writing press releases and the content of the public part of the project website, etc.),
• Participate in the development of the Data Management Plan of the project, and ensure its application by the partners.

In addition, this coordination mission will lead you to assist more broadly the energy team of CEA Tech Pays de la Loire on the management of other European projects in which the team is involved as a partner and the setting up of new files in response to calls for Horizon Europe projects.

With a higher education grade, Masters or equivalent, you have validated experience in public project management and a good knowledge of energy systems.

Through your training and career, you have acquired:

• Excellent command of English (language of communication within the consortium) and French, both written and spoken, as well as essential writing and summary skills,
• Knowledge of the management rules of the European Commission under the Horizon Europe framework program (formerly Horizon 2020),
• A great sense of rigor and organization, dynamism, responsiveness and autonomy,
• An ability to work in a team and in an international environment,
• A scientific culture in energy systems, and more particularly batteries for mobility would be a plus.

Based in Nantes, you will be required to make occasional trips to Grenoble (where some of the CEA employees involved in the project are located) and abroad as part of consortium meetings.
