Steel Structures & Industrial Maintenance Engineer

Role and background

As a designer and project manager for industrial equipment and structural frameworks, I am involved from the design phase through to on-site acceptance, ensuring strict compliance with Eurocode 3 and CM66 standards. I combine advanced design capabilities using Tekla Structures, Advance Steel, and Robot Structural Analysis with expertise in maintenance and monitoring of shop fabrication. Ready to hit the ground running, I bring a dual perspective of design engineering and operational management to enhance the reliability of your facilities, optimize your production costs, and ensure the successful execution of your projects.

Professional Experience

DESIGN ENGINEER

Since January 2022 • SOMETO • Madagascar

As a design engineer specializing in steel construction at a company in the building and steel construction sector, I was responsible for the design and oversight of industrial projects (hydrocarbon tanks, boilers, crushers, hydraulic presses, piping) and steel structures (frames, stairs, guardrails, gates, etc.). My responsibilities included analyzing client needs, conducting feasibility studies, designing (sketches and construction drawings), sourcing suppliers, preparing quotes, and overseeing production in the workshop and on-site construction until final acceptance. I applied the Eurocode 3, NF EN 12285-1/2, and CM66 standards while collaborating with international suppliers such as Globexco. Each project was delivered in accordance with the established technical, quality, and deadline requirements.

Manager of my metal fabrication and construction workshop

Since 2020 • Atelier Manda • Madagascar

As the manager of a metal fabrication and construction workshop, I was responsible for the complete management of projects, from client acquisition to the completion of the structures. My responsibilities included needs analysis, technical design, preparing quotes, as well as the fabrication and installation of metal structures such as reinforced doors, staircases, and custom-made structures. I supervised a team of workers while ensuring that deadlines, quality standards, and technical requirements were met. This experience allowed me to develop a versatile, results-oriented approach focused on customer satisfaction.

PRODUCTION MANAGER

July 2021–Dec. 2021 • MPE SCRIMAD • Madagascar

As Production Manager at an agri-food company specializing in frozen pasteurized fruit juices, I oversaw the entire production process, from receiving raw materials to packaging for shipment. I developed schedules, organized teams (both temporary and permanent staff), managed daily production, and monitored the performance of machinery and operators. I ensured strict adherence to deadlines, quality requirements, and hygiene standards. I also actively contributed to the implementation of FSSC 22000 certification while applying ISO 9001 standards, thereby ensuring production that complies with international requirements.

Site Manager

Since 2019 • Mada elek • Madagascar

As a site manager in the solar energy sector, I was responsible for the comprehensive management of photovoltaic projects, from business development to the commissioning of installations. My responsibilities included analyzing customer needs, sizing systems, preparing quotes, and coordinating and executing the work. I led several projects, including 3- to 5-kWp installations for commercial sites (Talomis Group, Le Gourmet Restaurant, etc.). These experiences allowed me to combine technical skills, meticulous execution, and a commitment to customer service.

TECHNICAL ENGINEER

July 2019–June 2021 • TAF • Madagascar

As a technical engineer at an agri-food company, I managed and planned maintenance to ensure the smooth operation of production equipment. I oversaw corrective and preventive maintenance work, helped develop the maintenance budget, and led efforts to continuously improve machine performance. I contributed to strategic projects such as the relocation and installation of production lines in a new plant, as well as the fabrication of specialized equipment (brackets, ladders, etc.). My work was carried out in compliance with HACCP and ISO 22000 standards, yielding tangible results in terms of reliability and operational efficiency.

INDUSTRIAL ENGINEER

Dec. 2018–July 2019 • Accord Knits • Madagascar

As an industrial engineer at a textile company, I managed and planned production, ensuring that operations ran smoothly and that quality, deadline, and productivity targets were met. I led the monitoring of production unit performance, identified areas for improvement, and implemented continuous optimization initiatives. In particular, I developed a platform to track machine downtime, which enabled us to analyze the causes and improve equipment availability. My efforts contributed to greater operational efficiency and enhanced the reliability of the industrial process.

Maintenance Internship

From 2016 to 2016 • JB Company • Madagascar

As an industrial maintenance intern at a food processing company, I was responsible for collecting and tracking daily performance data for production machinery. I assisted technicians during corrective and preventive maintenance tasks and participated in technical meetings with the maintenance department. This experience allowed me to gain practical skills in equipment management, fault diagnosis, and teamwork, while adhering to the quality and productivity standards of the agri-food sector.
