What is the job of a business engineer?
The job of business engineer has 4 components. It is therefore necessary to demonstrate versatility and agility in order to create, grow and manage your profit center.
The commercial dimension: we need to build our own customer portfolio, grow and maintain our business. The recruitment aspect: in the development of our profit center, we are responsible for the recruitment of employees who will provide technical services for our customers. We select, meet, validate and sign Vulcain's future talents ourselves. The management aspect: we manage our employees from arrival to exit on the service contract. We are therefore also responsible for the quality and timeliness of the technical service provided to the customer. The financial dimension: we guarantee the sustainability of our project center and its profitability. We must control the collection of the services provided.
What is your background at Vulcain?
Graduated from ESIGELEC in 2013, I am doing an end-of-studies internship at Vulcain as a Business Engineer. At the end of his internship, Vulcain offered me a permanent position, which I accepted. After 10 months, I became a Business Developer (management of a perimeter of more than 8 collaborators) then a Senior Business Developer (more than 20 collaborators and coaching a Junior AI), then 2 years later, Business Unit Manager with 2 Junior IA under my responsibility. Today, I manage more than a hundred employees, 4 Junior RNs and Senior Managers.
What do you remember about your years at ESIGELEC
My years at ESIGELEC were magical. I really liked the courses I took during these 3 years and especially the courses in my last year whose specialization was “business engineering”. I was able to find my way in a field that combined technical, relational and commercial aspects.
Do you think being a woman in a male environment is an asset?
Yes and no. This has already served me well, I have been confronted several times with sexist or misogynistic remarks at the beginning of my career, accentuated by my young age. At the time, I agreed to change my interlocutor and to entrust the portfolio to a male colleague. Today, I no longer accept this because I consider myself as legitimate as a man in my profession.
