In the shoes of Claire Barilleau, Tender ingeener : a mission at the heart of energy strategy

Her day often begins with a project progress meeting with the proposal manager, followed by discussions with the technical, purchasing, methods, and finance teams. Every component counts, and every choice influences the competitiveness of the bid.

A job that requires precision and collaboration
One of her recent challenges was to calculate a complex multi-currency bid in a context of price volatility and multilingual documentation. “Between international coordination, assessing the risks, and economic consistency, you have to find the right balance between profitability and competitiveness,” she explains. It’s a collective work of art, whose success depends on rigor, cooperation, and a shared vision of performance.

Commitment and knowledge sharing
Beyond her job, Claire is involved with the association Elles Bougent, which aims to introduce young people, especially girls, to technical careers. She visits schools, participates in student forums, and promotes diversity in engineering professions.

Her conviction: “You can love numbers, technology, and teamwork. Engineering is above all a human adventure.”
