What Presents does

Présents is a France-based civil engineering and infrastructure safety firm headquartered in Lyon, operating as a private Société Anonyme (SA) with 837,000 EUR of share capital and approximately 180 employees. The company provides a dual expertise combining CSPS (Coordination Sécurité et Protection de la Santé) safety coordination on construction sites and MOE (Maîtrise d'Œuvre) engineering and project management services for public infrastructure programs.

The firm serves primarily public-sector clients, including government entities, public transport authorities (such as SNCF, TISSEO, SYTRAL, SEMTCAR, and the Eurométropole de Strasbourg), metropolitan authorities (Grand Paris, Métropole de Lyon), and highway concession operators (APRR, SANEF, and VINCI concessions). Its delivery model is organized around six regional directions supported by 21 local offices across France, enabling proximity-based project execution on long-duration infrastructure programs.

The business model is project-based professional services revenue: fees are generated on contracts awarded through public tenders and framework agreements for safety coordination, design engineering, and program management roles across transport, highway, urban, and environmental infrastructure. The group operates through a multi-entity structure, with subsidiaries Viatec Eco, Stratera, Ekoconcept, and Arpentis covering adjacent service lines such as environmental engineering, surveying, and sustainable infrastructure. The company also runs its own CSPS training curriculum, monetizing workforce certification while supporting internal talent supply.
