Senior Data Scientist

Be part of the solution at Technip Energies and embark on a one-of-a-kind journey. You will be helping to develop cutting-edge solutions to solve real-world energy problems. 

We are currently seeking a Senior Data Scientist , reporting directly to Head of AI and Automation Hub to join our Data, New Tech and Software Engineering team based in Nanterre, Paris,France. 

About us: 

Technip Energies is a global technology and engineering powerhouse. With leadership positions in LNG, hydrogen, ethylene, sustainable chemistry, and CO2 management, we are contributing to the development of critical markets such as energy, energy derivatives, decarbonization, and circularity. Our complementary business segments, Technology, Products and Services (TPS) and Project Delivery, turn innovation into scalable and industrial reality. 

Through collaboration and excellence in execution, our 17,000+ employees across 34 countries are fully committed to bridging prosperity with sustainability for a world designed to last. 

About the mission we offer you: 

We are seeking a Senior Data Scientist with 5-7 years of experience to join our innovative AI team. This role offers the opportunity to work on cutting-edge artificial intelligence solutions across energy, infrastructure, and industrial applications. The ideal candidate will have a proven track record in GenAI, Computer Vision, and NLP, with hands-on experience deploying production-ready ML solutions in cloud environments.  

Technip Energies has been digitalizing for several years, has many building blocks to derive value from the Digital in the broadest sense and wishes to accelerate its digitalization by capitalizing on what has been done so far, setting an ambitious course for the next 5 years to better serve its customers, anticipate their needs and gain substantially in efficiency while taking advantage of new technologies.   

An evolution in the operating model has been performed recently, creating 1 new CDIO role (Management of Digital and Information Technology).  CDIO launched a Digital Acceleration Plan.  Phase 1 of the plan has been delivered, defining ambition of the Digital acceleration plan in terms of technology and expected business outcomes.  

Phase 2 is ongoing and includes the implementation of a new Product / Platform operating model within Digiteam.  During this phase many initiatives are launched to build new products on Technip Energies segments “Project Delivery” as well as “Technology, Products Services”.  The phase 2 also aims to reinforce the historically weak Enterprise Architecture discipline, enabling Coherence and Alignment from Strategy to Execution during the business digitalization roadmap.
