Careers after completing the specialization course

WHAT ARE THE CONSTRUCTION OUTLOOKS AFTER THE ISBA-TP TRAINING?

Job openings after an ISBA TP engineering course Here are some figures on the job openings for ISBA TP diplomas: 140 students per class: classes on a human scale with 21 different nationalities. Each year, our BTP engineering school trains 100 engineers specializing in civil engineering at BAC+6 level. 80% of our engineering students find a job at the end of their compulsory internship period. 100% of our engineering students obtain a job in civil engineering within 3 months of obtaining their specialized engineering diploma from ISBA TP.

Construction industry opportunities guaranteed for ISBA TP engineers with various integrations

Engineers who graduated from ISBA-TP quickly occupy positions of responsibility in the Construction and Civil Engineering sectors: design offices, site management, inspection office, etc.

The very nature of ISBA-TP training allows graduates to integrate into all types of companies, public and private, such as:

• Construction companies (design office and site management department);
• Execution design offices,
• Project management engineering companies,
• Technical inspection companies,
• Technical departments of large administrations and cities, etc.

ISBA-TP graduates or certified engineers have found a job without any difficulty. Half of student engineers are, in fact, hired before the end of their internship. Here are three examples of professions that ISBA-TP graduates can apply for in the fields of civil engineering and construction after their year of engineering specialization:

• • Structural engineer in a design office
• The missions attached to this type of position:
• – Technical studies for the design and construction of buildings or civil engineering structures,
• – Preparation of tender documents
• – Production of execution studies, – Project management mission.
• – Structural diagnosis,
• – Carrying out research and development activities.
• • Structural engineer in a control office
• The missions attached to this type of position:
• – Technical control, technical assistance: solidity of structures, safety of people, compliance with the rules of the art,
• – Monitoring of the proper execution of works,
• – Technical advice to project owners.
• • Works engineer
• The missions attached to this type of position:
• – Respond to the call for tenders,
• – Negotiate costs with subcontractors,
• – Organize construction sites,
• – Lead, supervise and manage work teams,
• – Ensure financial monitoring and work planning.

WHAT IS A CIVIL ENGINEER OR CIVIL ENGINEER AND THEIR MISSIONS?

Civil engineering includes all the techniques concerning civil constructions. Its field of application is very broad and includes the building and public works sector. The civil engineer participates in all the phases of construction of a structure or infrastructure as long as it concerns hydraulics, transport, geotechnics, structures or the environment. He is in charge of developing the construction project of the structures, from the design phase to the reception of the structures, including the notions of operation, maintenance and rehabilitation of the structures. He therefore assumes the following missions:

• Carrying out preliminary design studies
• Dimensioning the future structure
• Launching a call for tenders and selecting partners
• Operation and supervision of project management
• Technical and financial monitoring of the progress of the work

The missions of the civil engineer meet the needs of society, while ensuring public safety and environmental protection.

There are five main sectors of operations for these civil engineers: structures, geotechnics, hydraulics, transport and environment. Thus, the achievements can be very varied, which is why ISBA TP has set up two specialization training courses for these engineers: Specialization in infrastructures related to land and maritime transport (engineering structures and coastal infrastructures): this specialization makes it possible to design the civil engineering works of tomorrow that are essential to the development of national and international infrastructures.

Specialization in soil/structure interaction (tunnels, dams, wind farms, maritime structures): the entire issue of soil/structure interaction is widely addressed in this specialization. Specialization in earthquake engineering (construction in earthquake-resistant zones, etc.): the entire issue of infrastructure, materials, etc. in earthquake-resistant zones is widely addressed in this specialization. Specialization in smart eco-responsible buildings: all issues relating to the integration of environmental and ecological constraints in the act and monitoring of construction.

WHAT ARE THE SKILLS OF THESE ENGINEERS?

The art of building goes hand in hand with mastery of civil engineering sciences:

• Fundamental sciences (physics, chemistry, computer science, etc.)
• Civil engineering sciences (materials, strength of materials, calculations of reinforced concrete structures, prestressed concrete, metal framework, environment, etc.)
• In a specialty (energy, civil engineering structures, infrastructure and buildings, water).

The civil engineer masters the knowledge of different construction materials, in order to respect technical, environmental, structural and economic constraints. Acquiring technical skills is an essential element for a civil engineer but not only. He must also have skills of a nature:

• economic (budget management, etc.),
• managerial (managing project teams, etc.)
• environmental (taking into account the sustainable development of a project).

It is important that the civil engineer has the following skills: an excellent sense of communication and listening, a pragmatic and creative mind, a very good general culture, an ease to work in a team.
