French to English translations [PRO]
Tech/Engineering - Military / Defense
French term or phrase: génie militaire
Au cours de cette période dense et riche, j’ai travaillé dans des structures très diverses : Armée de Terre, Grand Groupe, PME.
Les secteurs d’activité sont ceux de la Défense Nationale, plus particulièrement du Génie militaire (composante Génie Combat) et du traitement des déchets ; ce dernier secteur englobe des approches métier très variées : logistique et transport, sites industriels complexes (usine d’incinération d’ordures ménagères), process de production (centre de tri), sites à ciel ouvert (centres de stockage de déchets, plateformes de compostages).

Peer comments on this reference comment (and responses from the reference poster)
agree  Clive Phillips: See Michel Morin's response to the "génie combat" question. I think on reflection that the capital letters do not necessarily indicate that this is an Army corps or branch.
