Work environment

The “Energy” Business Line is responsible for all the engineering activities related to the development and realisation of projects in the following fields:

• Power, Heat and Desalination
• Gas: energy generation and pipelines
• Wind, on-shore and offshore
• Hydrogen, Energy Storage and Solar PV
• Transmission and Distribution of Electricity
  
  

These projects go from the pre-feasibility studies up to final commissioning of the installations.

Within the “Energy” Business Line, the “Transmission & Distribution” Electrical Competence Centre is in charge of the following tasks related to Transmission & Distribution and electrical activities for the other product lines (e.g. power plants, renewables, gas…):

• Feasibility and Basic Design.
• Electrical System Studies.
• Detailed Electrical Design.
• Procurement of electrical equipment including factory acceptance testing.
• Electrical Design Review.
• Site supervision, pre-commissioning and commissioning activities.
• Audit of electrical installations.
  
  

These activities are executed within different contractual contexts as for instance consulting, owners engineering, EPCM missions as well as EPC contract execution.

The concerned contracts could cover the following geographical areas: Europe, Africa, Middle East or Asia.
