**Jules**
Environment and excavated material project manager,FRANCE

### WHAT IS YOUR JOB?

I am currently an environment and excavated material project manager, with
responsibility for France, after having trained as a polluted sites and soils
engineer.

The aim of managing excavated material is to limit, recycle, add value to or
eliminate excavated earth resulting from infrastructure worksites. This activity
is in line with the sustainable  development and circular economy initiative led
by SYSTRA as it  proposes new solutions such as the filling of old quarries and
the development of eco-materials.

### WHAT ARE YOUR ASSIGNMENTS AT SYSTRA?

I joined SYSTRA in September 2018 to work on Grand Paris Express projects. My
main assignment is to manage issues linked to the excavated material resulting
from civil engineering works.

My first assignment was carried out in the context of a project management
contract. I performed environmental monitoring consisting in ensuring that the
different groups of companies were respecting their commitments: management of
storm and groundwater, limitation of noise pollution, management of excavated
material, flood compensation, reporting to the services of the State…

I am currently working on a design-build project for a future line. My role is
to help our client in defining the best strategy for managing excavated
material, in order to reach the very ambitious objectives set for the Grand
Paris Express in this context, in terms of added vaue and alternative transport.

These projects involve working within a multidisciplinary team made up of risk
management experts, construction economists, interface managers, and contacts
for administrative procedures.

### WHAT ARE THE THREE MOST important qualities or skills in your job?

In a context where the project owners responsible for running large
infrastructure projects attach increasing importance to sustainable development,
it is essential to demonstrate  proof of ** pedagogical **ability. Taking into
account the issues involved in the management of excavated material is in fact
relatively new and therefore sometimes difficult to grasp for non-specialists.
   

**Operational vision **enabling the monitoring of works is also valuable in
bringing the client’s ambitions in line with the reality on the ground.

Finally, this subject requires **versatility **as it involves working with a
broad range of disciplines, at once technical, legal, financial and contractual.

### WHY SYSTRA?

I chose to join SYSTRA because I was sure I would be involved in large-scale
projects and be faced with complex subjects from which I would learn. I am proud
that the assignments I lead today are fully integrated in the development of  
sustainable solutions that respect the environment.
