• Alstom Grid - Project Manager Special Projects

  2013 - maintenant Project Manager for complex high voltage switchgear projects: Genrator Circuit Breakers (GCB), Live Tank (LT) Circuit Breakers and HVDC products.
  
  Projects fitting in the complex category are the ones with:
  - very difficult technical specifications to handle
  - production and delivery of new technologies
  - complex coordination / communication with all the departments of the factory for establishing new procedures to deal with new technologies
  - complicated contracts reagarding legal, and financial terms
  - complicated consortiums, customers to deal with
  - complicated reporting to the management
  
  The responsibilities and tasks regarding this job are the same as the ones described in my previous job as a Contracts Manager for GCB with this new complex / special projects category to deal with.

• Alstom Grid - Project Manager GCB Projects

  2011 - 2013 Contracts Manager for Generator Circuit Breakers (GCB*):
  
  The Contracts Manager manages the contracts creation, execution, analysis for the purpose of maximizing financial and operational performance and minimizing risk.
  The contracts manager is the direct and only contact for the customer. Thus, its role needs very high communication and negociation skills. These qualities are mandatory for the coordination of the activities described below within the company.
  
  The work of everyday for the contracts execution consists in coordinating staff for:
  - the drafting (general arrangements and electrical diagrams)
  - the sourcing (communication with our suppliers and supply management team)
  - the production (manufacturing schedules, follow up of the manufacturing chain and information about customized projects)
  - the routine tests (Factory Acceptance Tests in presence of the customers)
  - the delivery (organization of the packing and logistic for the delivery of the project according to the contractual incoterm)
  - the erection and commissionning (providing the O&M manuals and coordinating our global service units)
  - the warranty period (follow up the contract until the end of the warranty period providing spare parts, maintenance, etc)
  
  The financial aspect of the contracts execution consists in:
  - the analysis of the purchase orders before their acceptation and their acknowledgement
  - the invoicing according to the different contractual payment milestones
  - the following up of the budgets, payments and overdues
  - the risks analysis in order to update our budgets (cash provisions)
  - the claims management for non contractual requests and / or to improve our margins
  
  * GCB Contracts are necessary for the construction of power plants, retrofiting old devices and services that are highly regulated with detailed technical specifications, intellectual property (IP) agreements, and international trade.
