In 3 words, how would you describe your job?

Was working at Vulcain obvious for you?

After school, it is often difficult to know where to go or which company to choose.

For my part, my choice was already focused on service companies, which would allow me to diversify and strengthen my skills more quickly through different projects/companies.

Vulcain was obvious, on the one hand from a professional point of view, with a strong presence in large companies offering great opportunities but also with a strong activity in energy, a field that is particularly close to my heart. Finally for its human side, which from my first interview immediately made me want to be part of it.

Tell us about your background?

After obtaining my Bac S-SI, I joined a preparatory class at Grandes Ecoles (Higher Maths/Specialized Maths) in order to pass the exams that led me to INP-ENSIACET in the specialty Process Engineering and Computer Science. In the final year, I chose a specialization in project management in order to diversify my skills. A skill that I directly applied with a professionalization contract with one of the leaders in the pharmaceutical sector as an IT project manager.

Finally, after school I joined Vulcain by returning to my initial training in the oil & gas sector to further develop my skills in environmental impact.

How is the vision of women different from that of men?

The vision we have of a project, the way we build an idea or the way we interact with others does not depend on our gender but much more on our values, our background and our professional experiences, which in my case, have brought me determination, rigor and pugnacity.

What advice would you give to young women/students in engineering schools who do not yet dare to consider a career in engineering?

The engineering profession offers a multitude of opportunities in the most varied fields but above all offers skills that will allow you to build a career that suits you.

Today, if we want to broaden our range of possibilities and increase our opportunities tenfold, we must above all consider that an effective vision is a mixed vision. Finally, if you really think that this is a world for men, it's up to you to turn the tables and break prejudices.
