Overview
The holder of the BTS ME works in the water treatment, distribution, sanitation and purification sector.
Working with the engineer, he or she has the necessary skills to manage a team and ensure the technical management of the installations.
It is responsible for operating a network to ensure that the water distributed is both of good quality and available in sufficient quantity. He organizes maintenance operations, controls the production process, intervenes in the event of a problem, identifies the quality of the water and gives instructions for the treatment to be carried out according to the installations.
The graduate can exercise his profession in the framework of local authorities, water distribution or user companies, design offices and research teams, equipment suppliers and specialized administrations and agencies.
And because a short interview is better than a long speech, we asked Renaud to share his experience of the BTS ME :
