How we work with you

A working day with your Paris team

Nothing about this is improvised. Paris is 4 h 30 m behind our engineering desk (UTC+05:30), so we run a fixed daily rhythm around your working hours in Paris.

Hydrogen and biogas skid packages
Battery storage and converter steel
Wind and solar support structures
Carbon-capture equipment design

Water

Sector page

Municipal and industrial water assets combining tankage, access steel and process piping.

API 650 / AWWA tank design
Clarifier bridges and walkways
Treatment-plant piping and isometrics
Filter and dosing skids

Mezzanines, platforms and stairs
Equipment support structures

Commercial & compliance

Contracting, IP and invoicing for Paris, France

Engineering is the easy part of an offshore engagement — the contract, the IP and the invoice are what stall it. Here is how we set those up for Paris, France clients.

Fixed-price package

Quote in 24 h · 2–4 milestones

Best for: A defined scope — one building, one skid, one vessel

Lump sum against an agreed drawing and tonnage list. Milestone invoicing, and change orders only for scope you approve in writing.

Rate-based delivery

Weekly reporting · monthly invoice

Best for: Scope that is still moving

Per-drawing, per-tonne or per-hour rates fixed up front, with a weekly burn and progress report so the invoice never surprises you.

Dedicated engineers (ODC)

Monthly per seat · 1-month notice

Best for: A continuous workload across many projects

Named engineers reserved for you each month, working in your folder structure, templates and drawing standards under your team lead.

The paperwork, up front

Working with SES from France

Invoicing currency: EUR or USD, fixed at contract stage
Payment terms: Milestone or monthly invoicing, net 30 days from invoice
Contract vehicle: NDA, then a master services agreement with a priced scope schedule per package
IP & ownership: Models, drawings, calculations and native files transfer to you on final payment
Cross-border paperwork: Tax-residency and invoice documentation supplied for France finance and treaty relief
Insurance: Professional indemnity cover; certificate issued with the proposal on request

Local practice: Deliverables suit EN 1090 factory production control and the CE / UKCA documentation chain, and calculations are issued in a form your checking engineer or notified body can audit line by line.

Confidentiality, IP & data security

Mutual NDA signed before drawings are exchanged — usually inside one working day.
All models, drawings, calculations and native files become your property on final payment.
Project data lives in access-controlled folders; only the named team on your job can open them.
No sub-contracting of your scope to a third party without your written consent.
Every deliverable is produced on genuine licensed software, so your submission chain stays clean.
Transfers over your portal, SharePoint, or our encrypted link — whichever your IT policy allows.
