- To successfully integrate the electricity and renewable energy businesses, TotalEnergies has created a new entity, OneTech, which brings together all the technical and R&D expertise of the branches (Exploration & Production, Refining & Chemicals, Marketing & Services and Gas, Renewables & Power). With nearly 3,400 engineers and technicians working at several sites in Europe, OneTech is organized around three divisions,
- **an industrial hub** to support the Company's growth in gas, renewable energies, power and CO2 emission reduction;
- **a Research & Development hub** to continue transforming TotalEnergies by prioritizing a low-carbon emission mix, and
- **a support functions hub**.
- OneTech is one of the pillars of TotalEnergies' transformation into a multi-energy company. Joining us means participating to this transition towards Low Carbon Energies with a mindset which is both responsible, operationally ambitious and technically innovative.
- Long term Company assets durability and profitability can be affected by climate change, and it is thus necessary to appreciate the risk it induces.
- In this context, One Tech R&D recruits a S
