Belgium - Project management services other than for construction work

Description

The IRE is the world's leading producer of radioisotopes for medical use. In order to ensure the continuity of future deliveries, a new plant will be built, with a first line coming into operation in 2024 and a second in 2028. It will produce Mo-99 via reaction of energetic photons (generated by a powerful linear electron accelerator) on a Mo-100 target. The Mo-99 thus produced will be chemically treated and dosed, according to the client's needs, in "hot" cells. To this end, the IRE needs a project manager to monitor this investment, which will include a research and development phase (in progress), a manufacturing phase, an integration phase and the licensing of the production process (pre-licensing process).
