About Richard

I have been working in demanding industrial environments for several years, with 18 years of experience:
🔹 10 years in maintenance
🔹 8 years in project management and automation

My goal: to ensure the implementation of reliable, optimized, and sustainable technical solutions, adapting to the specific needs of each client.

🎯 What I offer:

🔹Complete management of electrical & automation projects: supervision of subcontractors, cross-functional coordination between the various departments involved, creation of diagrams, PLC programming, commissioning in the workshop or at the client's site.

🔹Definition & deployment of standardization in your work methods: creation of work procedures, implementation of standard stocks to limit costs related to spare parts, standardization of PLC functional blocks to harmonize practices within teams (automation engineers & maintenance).

🔹In-depth technical analysis and effective resolution of field issues: thorough diagnosis of equipment with low availability, root cause identification, definition of the intervention scope and targeted action plan.

🔹Technical interface between teams: fluid communication between production, maintenance, design office, and external service providers to ensure consistency and efficiency throughout the project.

🧠 My approach: rigorous, structured, and results-oriented. I work on both new projects and improvements to existing processes.
I pay particular attention to standardization, which simplifies maintenance interventions and increases equipment availability.

Available for on-site or remote missions, I put my expertise at the service of your industrial projects to guarantee performance, reliability, and scalability.
