  • Support the production of structured close-out documentation and technical handover packs.
  • Monitor installation quality and provide field-level technical support during system bring-up and validation phases.
Strategic Development & Regional Growth
  • Contribute to the definition and evolution of FPC's smart building integration services in the EU region.
  • Support business development activity by providing input to proposals, solution design and regional delivery planning.
  • Help shape local service offers that reflect client needs, regulatory frameworks and technology trends.
  • Act as a technical ambassador for FPC within client, consultant and partner communities.
  • Identify repeatable delivery models, reference architectures, and commercial levers to scale FPC's European offering.
  • Identify strategic gaps in local market offerings and propose new service components that respond to evolving client expectations.

    • Deep expertise in cybersecurity frameworks and secure design principles for smart building systems, including NIS2, ISO27001, and GDPR compliance.
    • Proficient in IP networking, VLAN segmentation and secure data transmission methods
    • Experience producing and reviewing technical documentation including schematics, ICDs and close-out packs
    • Familiarity with modern device management, network security, and endpoint protection platforms (e.g. JumpCloud, Cisco Meraki, CrowdStrike) is advantageous.
  • Soft Skills:
    • Fluent in French and English, with excellent verbal and written communication skills
