POSITIONS HELD

1. Feasibility study for the development of rural electrification by mini/small hydroelectric power stations and associated electricity network in the department of DJA AND LOBO, in the southern regions of Cameroon.

Owner: Rural Electrification Agency ??? REA (Cameroon)

Name of employer: La G??n??rale d???Expertise (GENEX)

Type of employer activity: Engineering Firm

Title/function: Consultant, Project Manager

Job location: Cameroon

Date: Nov. 23 ??? May 24 (ongoing)

Brief description of duties and main responsibilities

In this feasibility study, I have so far successfully managed the rural electrification development project for some sixty localities in two arrondissements of the Dja-et-Lobo department. To date, 60% of the work has been carried out, including an in-depth analysis of the technical, environmental and economic aspects of the project. My role is to coordinate a multidisciplinary team and ensure the production of quality deliverables that meet the client's expectations.

Through technical studies, we assessed the hydraulic resources, sized the hydroelectric plant and determined the best options for the associated electricity networks. Particular attention was paid to the preliminary environmental analysis to minimize the impact on the natural and human environments and to assess the willingness and ability to pay of the local population.

My commitment to the successful completion of this study demonstrates my ability to manage complex projects and achieve tangible results for the beneficiary communities.

Brief description of duties and main responsibilities

In my role as Project Manager, I successfully managed the project management for the construction of solar PV power plants in hospitals, resulting in a significant increase in the availability and reliability of energy sources, energy efficiency and substantial annual savings of 30% on electricity costs, thereby improving the environmental and financial sustainability of hospital facilities. I effectively coordinated the multi-disciplinary teams throughout the process, ensuring delivery on time and on budget.

My leadership continually motivated the team, whose efforts optimized the energy performance of the systems, generating 25% more electricity than originally estimated. In addition, I forged strategic partnerships with suppliers and local authorities, ensuring the supply of quality equipment and smooth regulatory approvals. My leadership has been instrumental in transforming the hospitals into models of energy sustainability and social responsibility, directly benefiting patients and medical staff.

Owner : Ministry of Water and Energy - MIWE (Cameroon)

Name of employer: La G??n??rale d???Expertise (GENEX)

Type of employer activity: Engineering Firm

Title/function: Consultant, Project Manager

Job location: Cameroon

Date: Dec. 19 ??? Apr. 20

Brief description of duties and main responsibilities

Audited project cost: USD 123.3 million.

His role as Mission Leader was guided by a commitment to fostering a collaborative working environment where ideas are valued and teamwork thrives. The multi-disciplinary team of twelve experts in charge of the financial and technical audit of the construction of solar PV mini power plants, with a combined capacity of 13.2MW, and associated distribution networks, for the electrification of 184 rural localities, achieved a high level of project performance. All quality, cost and deadline targets were met.

On the basis of the commercial contract data, an audit protocol was drawn up and validated with the involvement of the EPC.

The main results: analysis of the tariff model validated for this phase of the project and suggestions for technical ways of aligning the tariff with the requirements for reliability and availability of electrical energy. The technical limitations, environmental impacts and social requirements not taken into account by the project were identified on the basis of an assessment of the benefits produced by the renewable energy technology and architecture adopted.

The various volumes of deliveries and works were cross-checked by means of accounting and technical audits (execution studies, compliance of orders, deliveries and construction works for the solar power plants and associated mini-grids). At the end of the mission, deviations from qualitative, cost and quality tolerances were identified. Suggestions were made for improving the management process for the next phases.

6. Audit of the cost (development, financing and construction) of the Kribi gas-fired power plant and the operating expenses for the 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2017 financial years of KPDC (SPV created for the PPP Cameroon - AES Corp) commissioned by ARSEL, the Cameroon Electricity Regulator.
