17/02/2026

Christophe Brud Erlin has been managing Entrepose Contracting’s CMPEA subsidiary since January, while continuing to work as a tank engineer.

CMPEA is an engineering firm renowned for its calculations and designs for cryogenic and atmospheric tanks, its pressure vessel studies and its repair services for customers in France and abroad. Under his leadership, the team supports projects for Entrepose and numerous external operators.

His role is to guarantee the technical soundness of studies, responsiveness to customer requests and the continuity of expertise built up over decades. He coordinates studies between Entrepose and CMPEA, arbitrates priorities, supports his team of draughtsmen and calculators and secures interfaces with engineering, procurement, construction and operators.

📢”A good design office manager must keep one foot in the technical field and the other in the collective. Reliability is built both in the calculations and in the way we work together”, he explains.

By retaining his position as a tank engineer, Christophe remains closely involved in complex subjects: LNG tanks, repairs, pressure vessels. This dual role allows him to combine operational vision with the management of the subsidiary. Joining his teams means contributing to niche expertise at the heart of the most demanding EPC projects.
