What was your training and what has been your training path?
I have an Industrial Maintenance BTS, plus an Advanced technical maintenance Licence degree. I have started my professional life in different companies, apart from wind energy (electric heaters, distillery), then I joined General Electric as a service technician for wind turbines for 2 and a half years. GE trained me, including for works-at-height. I joined VALEMO in January 2015 working for technical support in Reims.
What are your main tasks?
My missions consist more in service delivery than maintenance for turbines. It means mostly blade inspection, lidar installation, preventive maintenance for substations, and also interventions for met mast and support for vibration analysis. We work as well for operation department for the biannual inspections with operation managers. My tasks are very diverse, there is no routine. It is really stimulating to work for different interventions and to share missions with professionals with different backgrounds. Each new mission is a breath of fresh air.
What is your favourite task ?
The Reims-based agency is specialised in technical audit missions. These missions, for which our turbines technical experience is the most valuable, are my favourite ones, especially for the significant autonomy they require. I particularly enjoy being responsible and autonomous.
