DEPARTMENTAL SERVICE SUPPORT (DSS)
SY Departmental Service Support (DSS)
The DSS provides technical support services, for the SY Department, for the operation, maintenance, consolidation and upgrade of CERN’s accelerator complex, test bench facilities and the technical infrastructure on the CERN site.
Task Technical Managers (DSS-TTM)
The DSS-TTM are the contact persons for the Groups. They are responsible for the Job Requests, the (short-long term) planning of the Services and collaborate with the DSS-TEM (Contractor’s Technical Managers) for the technical guidance and correct execution of the Services, as well as for the final quality control and the Job Request acceptance.
The list of the TTMs can be found here (CERN Internal access).
Specification of the Services
The DSS Services are grouped by Activities and are divided into two distinct competencies:
- Mechanical Departmental Service Support (M-DSS)
