03 — Profile
Profile
From the tools to project management.
I know high-voltage installations first-hand – as an electrician, as a fitter in grid operations, as a site manager and as a project manager.
That path shapes how I work: I steer projects with an understanding of what actually happens on site – hands-on, safety-focused and reliable towards everyone involved, from subcontractor to owner.
- Independent since 2022, working for grid operators, general contractors and plant builders
- Cost and budget responsibility for multi-million-euro projects
- Qualified electrician with switching and operating experience in 110 kV installations
- Fluent in German and English, company based in Warsaw
