Thibault Benistand

Wood Engineering Consultant
Advanced master class of 2015

I took the course between 2014 and 2015 and I didn’t really have to look for a job afterwards, because I already had several offers and ideas to follow up even before the end of the school year.
Now I’m doing a PhD at the LERMAB Laboratory at the University of Lorraine. There’s no direct link between my former training course and my PhD, but having worked for a year between the start of my thesis and the end of my studies, I can confirm that the Advanced Master’s course is perfectly in line with structural engineer positions in design offices.
I did my engineer course via an apprenticeship with the Mines Higher National School of Technology and Engineering in Alès and the course undeniably offers young engineers an incredible opportunity to work on major projects, such as the MIRAMAS stadium and high-rise wooden buildings.
I fondly remember my end-of-year project with four colleagues, where we had to calculate the dimensions of a large building!
