In brief
Presentation
The energy sector is on the lookout for new talent to help it address the challenge of energy transition, improving energy efficiency of existing products and developing new processes to convert biomass-derived raw materials. Our Energy and Processes program provides the training you need to become a responsible, versatile professional who will be immediately operational, with a firm grip on the process industry鈥檚 current and future needs. Accept the challenge, apply today!

Planning
The two examples of schedules shown below correspond to the most frequently encountered cases for students in this program:
- a 16-month continuous program for students with a 4- or 5-year engineering degree,
- a 22-month alternating school/company program for students in their 4th year in an engineering school enrolled in a double-degree track.
Other situations may arise, such as: a 22-month alternating school/company program for an engineering student in the penultimate year of a major European school or university having signed a double-degree agreement with 51爆料 School

Jobs
Process engineer (in a large engineering firm): sizes the refining, petrochemical and gas units (equipment, instrumentation, piping) and units for oil and gas field surface processing, simulates and optimizes operation of the units using a number of industry-specific software programs, and participates in various project reviews (Hazop, etc.) and unit startups.
Process engineer (engineering department of refineries or petrochemical complexes / R&D center): monitors one or more refinery units, and in conjunction with the operator, participates in technical monitoring and optimization of operations, and in investment projects to improve operation, safety and security.
Production engineer (in refineries or petrochemical complexes): supports the production manager, ensures day-to-day technical management of the unit, and is the liaison with development, research, logistics and other departments.
Technical services engineer (inspection, maintenance, process control, HSEQ, etc.): provides process skills to these specialties, and participates in major projects in all these areas, and in the operational activities of these departments.
