2006 - 2007Technip provids engineering and technologies services for Oil&Gas and Petrochemicals Industries

2006 - 2006I've spent a month as a trainee site supervisor during major refurbishment works in the CEA power supply site in Grenoble, France.
2005 - 2005Entreprise de Filippis is a subsidiary company of Eurovia, one of the world leader in the public works area.
With its 80 employees, this company allowed me to discover a wide range of road works, from pipeline lay to build a new road.
This 4 months placement was really important for me, it made me discovering a new world, closed from the ground, where I wanted to be before working in the oil and gas field.
