Role Overview
At Equans, you will not be working on standard projects with off-the-shelf solutions. You will work on

assignment is unique and requires technical rigor, curiosity, a strong sense of ownership, and comfort

project delivery and closeout. You will leverage your technical background in engineering and your project
management skills to ensure safety, client satisfaction, budget and schedule compliance, and the
achievement of guaranteed results.

various sizes, with a particular focus on asset renewal for PPP contracts (Public-Private Partnerships).
The project manager will work closely with various project leads, stakeholders, and internal teams to
ensure successful project delivery on time and within budget.
