Created in 2009 at Ecole des Mines in Nantes, this chair brings together the Foundation and the main stakeholders in the nuclear waste sector, namely ANDRA (the French agency for radioactive waste management), EDF and AREVA.
The construction of new energy works in France and abroad (nuclear power plants, wind turbine farms, dams, etc.) and the maintenance of existing works require highly trained civil engineers. These engineers will be trained in both project management and sub-contracting and will be able to adapt to international working environments.
This new course, created in September 2009, is a part of the strong revival of nuclear energy internationally. In France, nuclear industrialists' demand for new engineers and managers is equivalent to approximately 1,000 people each year, for at least the next 10 years!
The recruitment of engineers is in full expansion. These high levels will be maintained over the coming years, thanks to the dynamic nature of the energies sector, upcoming retirements, the construction of new power plants worldwide, and more. The need for new skills is both substantial and long-term.
Sébastien Broisin, 22, is completing his education at INSA* in Lyon. The future electrical engineer is eager to take advantage of the opportunities that will be presented to young engineers in the coming years.
Emmanuel Frere-Lecoutre, 24, is an Optimisation Upstream Downstream Trading Engineer at EDF. Acting as the interface between production and sales, he contributes to the successful management of the Group's assets.
