It’s my job

After four years in a design office making my expertise available to stakeholders in land use planning and energy, I joined Volkswind in May as a design manager. I work in a dynamic team in charge of onshore wind power development where my experience is particularly valued in project management and in the management of administrative and regulatory procedures. The position of project manager allows me to understand all the stages of development, from prospecting to construction. I particularly appreciate the teamwork, which is Volkswind’s bread and butter, and which facilitates exchanges with elected officials, service providers, government departments and land partners, and which allows projects to be successfully completed.

Nicolas Marteau holds a Master’s degree in water science -hydrosystems and watersheds.
He then acquired more than four years of experience as a research officer in an environmental design office, before finally joining Volkswind in May 2021.
