He then attended the École nationale du génie rural, des eaux et des forêts (National School of Rural Engineering, Water Resources and Forestry; ENGREF),[4] graduating with a postgraduate diploma as a water and forest engineer.

With his prior education in the field of agriculture, in 1961, Cointat was called to chair the cabinet of the Minister of Agriculture, Edgard Pisani, where he worked as Director General of Production and Markets from 1962 to 1967.[3][6][7] Meanwhile, he acted as an administrator of both l’Office national industriel de l’azote (National Industrial Office of Nitrogen; ONIA) and the Mines Domaniales des Potasses d’Alsace (State Mines Potasses of Alsace) from 1964 to 1967.[8]

On 16 November 2013, Cointat was hospitalized at the Bégin Military Teaching Hospital due to a femural neck fracture after falling in his home.[7] He died soon thereafter.[10]
