Student Engineer in Sustainable and Smart Buildings
Maxime GILQUIN
Hello, my name is Maxime Gilquin, 21 years old and a future French engineer. In a fast-changing world full of challenges, I've decided to share with you the vision of a future engineer through my career path and the realization of my work.
As engineers, we have a duty to act against climate change and anticipate its future impacts. It is essential that we devise more sustainable solutions to preserve our planet and ensure a better future for generations to come.
After a two-year degree in Civil Engineering at the Université Paul Sabatier III, I had the opportunity to join the Polytech Nice Sophia engineering school, specializing in sustainable and intelligent buildings. This training provided me with a wide range of skills, both professionally and personally. Above all, it opened my eyes to the challenges of tomorrow, highlighting the crucial importance of ecological transition and innovation in the building sector, as well as future impacts.
My five-month experience as a project manager with the engineering firm INGEROP, during my fourth-year internship, represented a real personal opportunity. This internship gave me a complete immersion in the building industry, from the competition phase to the AOR phase. What's more, this experience was crucial in broadening and strengthening my skills, both technically and personally, particularly through my involvement in the ambitious project to build the new tramway line for the Nice metropolitan area.

Scientific article about the durability of two types of concrete in an acid environment
My Erasmus stay in Košice, Slovakia, was an extraordinary human adventure that enabled me to discover new cultures, customs and landscapes. In addition to these unforgettable moments across Eastern Europe, I was also able to acquire unique technical knowledge, particularly in architecture and the durability of materials, with the impact of acidity on concrete. In the end, the most important thing I took away from this stay was that there's nothing better than French gastronomy.
