from 1 September 2026 to 30 June 2027

General installation engineering designers are essential for designing and carrying out the necessary modifications (mechanical, electrical or civil engineering) for projects to create new infrastructures and modernise existing industrial sites. The needs expressed are therefore numerous and at the interface of several sectors (nuclear, petrochemical, naval, etc.).

The design engineer draws up plans and digital mock-ups on specific software with the aim of producing documentation enabling the work to be carried out. Projects may require external interventions on sites in order to collect data useful for the study, including 3D dimensional surveys.


BC01 – Managing a project in industrial general installation engineering

Organising one’s work within a team to ensure the project runs smoothly

Putting forward well-reasoned proposals to internal and external project stakeholders

Apply quality and safety procedures throughout the project

Define and adopt a work organisation incorporating appropriate tools

Coordinate one’s own work with that of other project team members

Comply with coding rules by applying the project’s quality procedure

Manage the project data lifecycle using document management tools and processes

BC02 – Carry out a site survey

Interpret a site layout plan from the specifications to find one’s way around the industrial site by identifying its various buildings and production facilities

Interpret installation documents from the specifications

Prepare for the on-site survey by planning one’s visit

Carry out an on-site survey to ensure the plans comply with requirements and to complete the input data by taking measurements and photographs in accordance with health and safety regulations

Carry out a survey within a digital twin

Identify the physical and environmental integration constraints of the future industrial modification

Integrate the dimensional surveys carried out on site into a 3D digital model or a 2D plan

Draft a survey report

BC03 - Carry out a design study for a technical solution

Identify all integration constraints, particularly in terms of the kinematics of moving materials and components within the existing environment

Research technical solutions to meet functional requirements and achieve optimal cost-effectiveness, whilst complying with the specifications and general installation rules

Select the main general installation materials and equipment from a technical library to meet the requirements of the specifications

Carry out preliminary sizing of a technical solution to confirm the project team’s data using charts and simple calculation tools

Illustrate the basic design of the technical solution by producing a 2D drawing and/or a 3D model

BC04 - Produce an implementation study

Incorporate prefabrication and logistics constraints

Produce a 3D CAD model to validate the implementation study within its overall environment

Produce a set of 2D drawings consistent with the 3D CAD model

Manage the implementation study data, ensuring traceability

Prepare the project documentation
