Company Context
Within GE Power Conversion (approximately 3000 people worldwide, including 900 in France), we apply energy conversion techniques and systems to contribute to the full electrification of global energy infrastructure. Our solutions are built around 3 main components:
•Rotating machines;
•Variable speed drives;
•Automation and control systems.
This allows us to offer our customers, worldwide, turnkey systems.
As part of the project he/she will manage, the technical project manager will:
