Voltaire Mbatchou
@voltairembatchou
Project Manager and solar/electrical professional focused on safe, data-driven site execution and electrical design.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Project Manager with a strong construction and electrical foundation, backed by a 2024 Project Manager certificate and my engineering education. I bring hands-on site experience, safety training (OSHA 30), and the ability to translate technical requirements into clear project documents and plans. I also communicate in both French and English.
In past roles as a Technical and Sales Manager / Project Manager and as an Assistant Electrical Project Manager, I handled project documentation, electrical sizing and plans drawing, estimation, and on-site supervision. I supervised building maintenance teams across electrical, HVAC, plumbing, painting, and flooring, and I supported tender and scheduling activities as a superintendent / assistant project manager.
More recently, I’ve focused on solar work in the U.S.—installing solar systems, performing solar site surveying, and supporting efficient deployments in Oregon. I use solar design tools like PVSyst, Google Earth, and RETScreen Expert, and I support electrical design and load-related calculations with industry software such as Caneco BT, Calculux, Trilux, Rapsodie, and Ecodial.
Across my experience, I prioritize safety compliance, accurate electrical planning, and practical execution on the ground. Whether I’m installing systems, supervising construction work, or preparing documentation, I work with a solutions-first mindset and stay ready to support teams wherever capacity is needed.
