Noémie

In middle school, Noémie discovered a unique passion: she loved repairing lamps and building electrical circuits. Yet, nothing predestined her for this. Her parents did not go to college and lived in the countryside. Faced with a guidance counselor who underestimated her potential, she was directed in high school towards a short technological track to learn how to wire electrical cabinets.

After tenth grade, Noémie was directed to the scientific track thanks to her excellent results. However, the gap between the two paths was too wide, and Noémie eventually redirected herself to the electrotechnical track, where she was the only girl in the class. Determined to push her limits, she joined an ATS preparatory class to consolidate her scientific knowledge. Her dedication and perseverance then opened the doors to an engineering school, proving that there are multiple paths to excellence.

With her engineering degree in hand, Noémie joined RTE as a dispatcher, a profession at the heart of the French electrical system. There, she managed electricity flows in real time to guarantee grid balance and power continuity. Eager to better understand all of the company's activities, she then joined the Purchasing department. For 10 years, she developed a cross-functional vision of projects and collaborated with many technical professions, strengthening her ability to coordinate teams and lead complex projects. On a personal level, she became a mother of 3 children.

The call of technology was felt once again. But the return was not easy. After 10 years in Purchasing, and with young children, Noémie had to show perseverance and conviction to secure a position as an Underground Links Study Engineer. An important step that illustrates her ability to reinvent herself throughout her career. This evolution was made possible by an environment that encourages professional mobility and gender equality within her company. Today, Noémie wants to pave the way for younger generations: she is committed to showing young girls that technical careers are just as accessible to them.
