**Nicolas**
Project Director, BELGIQUE

### WHAT IS YOUR JOB?

I’m a project manager, currently in charge of our PMC contract to modernise and
extend the Brussels metro network. The aim is to support our client on a variety
of engineering and project management issues: migration, integration,
interfaces, testing, planning, configuration, quantity surveying, etc. I’m also
working as a systems manager within the client’s organisation, for the extension
of metro line 3, which is now entering the construction tender phase. I’m
advising our client on the preparation of this call for tenders, covering a wide
range of technical and organisational issues.

### WHAT DO YOU LIKE MOST IN WHAT YOU DO?

As a Project Director, I appreciate making easy agreement with the Client on the
invoicing plan, this is generally an indicator that the Client is happy with
what is delivered.
As a Consultant, I like being able to anticipate difficulties that the Client is
going to face in the middle term, then propose relevant solutions based on
experience, and finally help the project to make a choice.As an Engineer, I (of
course!) enjoy facing technical challenges.And as a Trainspotter, I love being
part of a transportation project, with a power to directly influence what will
be the result for the community in terms of operational efficiency, functions,
and performance.

### WHY SYSTRA?

I have chosen SYSTRA in 2013 for mainly 3 reasons. 1/ I wanted to enlarge my
vision of railway projects to any technical domain and any project phase, 2/
with opportunities almost anywhere in the world, and 3/ getting the possibility
to easy access to the best technical knowledge and experience in Metro and High
Speed Rail. For the same 3 reasons I’m still at SYSTRA today!
