Interview with ENG. KOFI IDOWU
,
Assistant Human Resources and Communication

How many people are hired by Technip each year?

2,000 to 3,000 talented women and men join our multi-cultural and mobile teams each year around the world.

What are the special qualities you are looking for?

In an area where customers are highly demanding and international competitiveness tougher than ever, we are looking for versatile characters who enjoy teamwork and innovation, who are internationally-minded and have the ability to develop quickly to a position where they assume responsibilities.

What opportunities do you provide for the people who join you?

Career opportunities come thick and fast and meet both individual ambitions and the requirements for adaptation to the way our markets are developing: project management, team management, expert professions etc.
Vocational training (more than two thirds of Group employees follow a training program each year), mobility between countries and lines of business and the swift ascension to a position of responsibility help to quickly build and leverage each professional career.

The specific features of Technip ?

It is always hard to sum them up in a few words. But I would say:

· Simple human relations, always direct and based on mutual trust
· Passion for our job and deep attachment to the company (the average length of
  service is 9 years). The shared belief that team work is the foundation of
  our performance and an asset for our development.
· Excellence, professionalism, thoroughness, whatever the line of business.
· Adaptability, creativity, a spirit of initiative.
