· Reviewing the different geotechnical disciplines deliverables issued by ENGINEERING contractors.

· Preparing Scope of services for studies or surveys to be carried out by a contractor.

· Monitoring studies and site/laboratory investigations to ensure that they are carried out in accordance with the standards in force, the contractual conditions, and the technical requirements.

· Carrying out studies and calculations in response to requests from other engineering units and other project packages - Pipeline (offshore, onshore), Early works, CPF, dredging, marine facilities and logistics, socio-environmental unit, ...

· Preparing technical notes/reports with concise outputs, resolutions, and recommendations.

· Remote and on site geosurveys coordination.

·

As part of the above technical missions, the SERVICE holder shall:
