About Nicolas

I am a hands-on person.
When a plant needs to run, I don't look for excuses: I find solutions.
From construction to commissioning, I ensure the technical and operational continuity of photovoltaic projects. I manage, I coordinate, I control, and above all – I make it work.

What I do:
Project monitoring, planning, technical coordination.
Supervision and support for field teams.
Electrical installation control (low voltage, medium voltage, high voltage), testing and measurements.
Commissioning and support for production startup.
Emergency management, taking over blocked projects, securing deadlines.

I am not a design office, I am the one called when the situation needs to be rectified and delivered on time.
I work with the available resources, I optimize what's there, and I meet objectives.
My action is part of a clear chain: the business manager who signed the project, the project manager who oversees resources, and the design engineer who conceived the installation.
Without their work, mine has no meaning.
My role is to bridge these three worlds – the contract, the design, and the field – so that everything converges on the same point: production.

QualiPV 500 – interventions on all types of installations, up to high voltage (certification to be renewed).
Globally mobile, passport ready, just not multilingual.
I plan three weeks ahead to remain efficient and adaptable, capable of switching from one emergency to another without losing focus.

On the tools side, I develop my own analysis and planning systems: Python, C++, VBA, PHP – homemade software to better manage reality.

I am closing my first company (SARL DAC) to create a SAS dedicated to my profession: commissioning, technical coordination, and operational reliability.
No fluff, no suit: just results, concrete actions, and a sense of a job well done.
