As a French and English-speaking Mechanical Project Engineer, you probably know better than we do how disastrous it can be when a critical mechanical system fails due to poor design validation or unclear requirements—especially in the aerospace or defense sectors where no compromise is acceptable.

Success of Engineering Projects mostly relies on key individuals demonstrating Intrapreneurial Leadership, and the best way to develop these skills is through hands-on consulting roles—working alongside established intrapreneurs in international companies, contributing to managing stakeholders' engagement, workflows' reliability, or solutions' sustainability.
