• Write hydraulic proposals and technical datasheets.
• Demonstrate initiative and creativity in managing hydraulic risks, notably by identifying potential issues, documenting them, and proposing innovative solutions.
• Participate in technical discussions with various stakeholders in a spirit of collaboration.
