How will you CONTRIBUTE and GROW?

The Project Technical Referent define optimal solutions and estimates while overseeing technical documentation and discipline coordination throughout the project. They provide on-site support during installation and commissioning, acting as a Design Authority for critical equipment validation. Furthermore, they conduct technical audits of installations and suppliers to ensure high-quality standards. They play a key role in client presentations, defending the technical-economic value of complex proposals. Finally, they drive innovation by developing new standards aligned with the strategic roadmap.

The Technical Referents will have to carry out the following main tasks:

Depending on the phase of the project, the Project Technical Referents contribute in determining the best technical solutions in their field of expertise, participate in the estimation (contribution to “Benchmark and Estimation”), prepare the technical documentation, coordinate the discipline activities, support from a technical point of view the project manager and site supervisors at site during installation, pre-commissioning and commissioning.
Provide assistance on technical questions related to projects, validation of critical equipment documentation, act as “Design Authority” if nominated through specific process
