They work on building sites, in headquarters and with expeditionary forces abroad.
The uniform is a standard Navy officer uniform, with pearl-grey stripes.

Students are recruited by a competitive exam open to students of the preparitory classes of the best engineering grandes Écoles. The cursus comprises one year for Navy officer training, followed by three years at the École nationale des travaux publics de l'État.
