About Tom Bonvalot

I make a power engineering diploma at IMT Nord-Europe (École des mines de Douai) in the Dunkerque site. Dunkerque is an European energy hub which allows the school to have an international opening. During my studies I acquired technical skills like thermodynamics, thermochemistry, mathematics, industrial cooling, renewables energies, fluids mechanics, mechanics and data analysis. I developed also managerial skills with courses in project management, Human Resources, continuous improvement, auditing techniques, quality (ISO 9001), energy management system (ISO I’m doing my studies as an apprentice to allow me to have a degree with more experience. I’m Energy Referent for Saint-Gobain, a industrial worldwide company, in it brand Saint-Gobain PAM Canalisation. I work in a foundry which produces road plates. During my studies I had to do an international internship to improve my English and open my vision of the engineering profession. I did it in Spain in Solvay, which is a leader in chemistry. This experience was very enriching and allowed me to work with people from all over Europe. I had already worked for Solvay at RIC-D, which is an international research and development center providing for all Soda Ash & Derivatives activities of the group.
