What are your main missions?
For the past 6 years, I have been coordinating, on behalf of external clients, the various activities related to monitoring installations and improving the performance of the plants entrusted to me. An essential part of my work is safety management, for which I am responsible both for the people involved and for the compliance of the installations.
Of course, my main activity concerns the monitoring of the farm's performance. Having a diversified technical background (electricity, automation, mechanics, information technology, hydraulics), I regularly analyze the data from the installations using computer tools, and I set up ways to improve them.
The optimization of operating costs (site maintenance, regulatory controls, maintenance contracts) is a key subject and a negotiation aspect is inseparable from my missions. As the client's representative, I act as a link between the various parties involved in the farm: grid operator, construction operator, aggregator, project management… At the same time, there is a strong relationship in the field, and I exchange a lot with local farmers, elected officials and local residents. I regularly visit the installations to carry out inspections. Able to work at heights, with electricity and first aid authorizations, it's always a pleasure to pass my head above the nacelle to look at the landscape!
What makes VALEMO's Operation Department special?
Without a doubt, the fact of being able to rely on complementary skills and expertise within the company. The Technical Services Department covers engineering activities such as data processing, vibration analysis or nacelle alignment (link to file); the teams at the control center are our eyes and ears and the maintenance teams allow us to be reactive by being as close as possible to the assets.
In addition, when a customer delegates the operation of its plant to us, it benefits not only from VALEMO's experience but also from the know-how of the VALOREM group. The asset manager can rely on the different departments of the group and thus call upon the expertise of the design office, legal support, and construction skills, in order to offer a quality service. Thanks to this, we adapt to any type of situation for a personalized response to our client.
What do you like most about your job?
It's an exciting job with technologies that are still new and constantly evolving, the playing field is very vast. I appreciate the real-time aspect with incident management where you have to be reactive. Team spirit and mutual aid between colleagues is predominant. We are all referents for one or more subjects and share this technological and regulatory watch between us to be always informed and able to react quickly.
