Mission and values

As engineers and consultants, SAFEGE's task is to deliver sustainable engineering solutions to local authorities, government agencies, water and wastewater operators and industry.


DELIVERING THE BEST POSSIBLE SOLUTION

Public and private clients are increasingly looking for partners capable of understanding and resolving complex engineering and development problems with multiple technical, economic and political implications.

A key player in the early stages of the development cycle, the consulting engineer shoulders responsibility for future outcomes, hence SAFEGE's commitment to delivering the best possible solution by approaching :

  • the technical choice,
  • the initial capital investment,
  • the future operating costs,
from a perspective of sustainability in terms of:
  • scalability of the facilities,
  • environmental and social integration,
  • mitigation of present and future risks.

 

ENGINEERS AND CONSULTANTS : LOOKING BEYOND THE TECHNICAL CONSIDERATIONS

As consulting engineers our job is to look beyond the purely technical considerations, to offer a choice to our clients and assist them in reaching a decision.

Our expertise is two-fold :

  • as consultants we distil the technical, economic and political aspects of the problem into a coherent whole to help our clients scope their projects and give them the means to make an informed decision,
  • as engineers we apply our technical skill and command of cutting-edge technologies to deliver solutions that are robust, reliable and durable.

EXCELLENCE THROUGH COOPERATION AND SHARING

SAFEGE engineers work in close and continuous cooperation with their clients and colleagues alike.

We maintain a close presence and close relationships with our clients, a prerequisite to listening, understanding and interpreting their needs, whether articulated or implied.

With their colleagues, our engineers share knowledge, good practice and experience in the quest for continuous improvement. Through our Circle of Experts, Sector Coordination process and Club Métiers, SAFEGE has institutionalised these interactions to promote a generous, collaborative, sharing culture which is the source of our strength and efficiency.

The profession must encourage the development of new generations of consulting engineers, capable of assisting their clients in every aspect of their projects. SAFEGE's policy of recruiting and retaining talented people is an integral part of that vision.
