Two career paths, two perspectives on civil engineering professions

Organized regularly by the GCCD department, this event gave students the opportunity to interact with alumni who are now working in key sectors of civil engineering, architecture, and sustainable construction.

The presentations highlighted two complementary professional environments. The first presentation focused on wood construction, using the example of the Itinéraires Group, a company specializing in wood-frame construction, roof framing, and construction site supervision. In particular, the students learned about the role of a site supervisor, a position that serves as a link between the design office, the job site, clients, crews, and partners.


The second presentation focused on the activities of Ginger, an engineering firm specializing in structural assessments, inspections of engineering structures, studies of existing structures, investigations, laboratory testing, and project management. Through several concrete examples, the students gained a better understanding of the challenges associated with the maintenance, repair, and reinforcement of infrastructure.
