Your mission: contribute to projects that matter

As part of the development of our business, we are looking for an Electrical Manager based in Paris, to lead our electrical team and contribute to complex building projects that lastingly transform regions.

Within our Buildings division, made up of a multidisciplinary team of around one hundred professionals, you will lead a team of LV/LV engineers and electrical designers and take on project management and technical engineering assignments, from design through to delivery of public and private buildings: office, healthcare, industrial, data centre and public facilities.

You will be at once a hands-on manager, a technical reference point and a contributor to production.

Your responsibilities

· Supervise, coach and support a team of 4 people made up of engineers, technicians and designers.

· Develop the skills of team members and keep know-how aligned with market needs.

· Conduct annual reviews, manage workloads and support the structuring of the division.

· Handle day-to-day administrative matters: leave, internal organisation and various approvals.

· Act as the technical and operational reference point for the team.

· Carry out design studies: calculation notes, power balances, sizing and technical specifications (CCTP).

· Oversee the production of plans, diagrams and BIM models in liaison with designers.

· Estimate the works costs of the packages you are responsible for.

· Analyse contractor bids, take part in finalising contracts and ensure approval of execution drawings.

· Assist the project manager during the construction phase.

· Verify compliance of LV/LV installations up to handover of the works.

· Act as the technical point of support on electrical matters: LV distribution, generators, switchboards, lighting, SSI, security and BMS.

· Ensure technical and regulatory monitoring: fire safety, regulations and business software such as CANECO and DIALux.

· Contribute to the development of the electrical activity within the Buildings division.

· Promote cross-functional collaboration with other divisions: HVAC, structure, hydraulics, BIM and environment.

Your future team: You will join a multidisciplinary, expert and committed team of around one hundred professionals, where knowledge sharing, collaboration and professional development are part of everyday life.

Our culture: We prioritise transparency, trust and mutual support in order to create an environment in which everyone can speak up, contribute and see their ideas valued.
