Case study — Energy & biomass

Albioma

Staff placement during a team transition.

Mandate duration: Transition assignment
Scope: Turbine-generator island and biomass boiler
Pillar engaged: Staffing & placement

Context

1 resource deployed quickly to ensure business continuity through a transition period

A biomass plant whose availability commitments are contractual: every hour not delivered in peak season has a price. The unplanned departure of a key reliability resource left a vacant position in mid-season, with no room to wait several months for a permanent hire.

The problem

What we observed on the floor before the intervention.

Key reliability position vacant at the height of peak season.
Permanent hiring lead time incompatible with availability commitments.
Risk of losing know-how and in-flight files when the resource left.
Preventive programs and planned outages to be maintained without interruption.
Remaining team already fully loaded, no internal capacity to absorb the gap.

Our solution

The approach deployed with the crews, from diagnosis to autonomy.

01Fast deployment of a senior reliability resource, operational within the first days.
02Immediate takeover of in-flight files: preventive strategies, job plans and outage preparation.
03Planning and scheduling cycle maintained without interruption through the transition.
04Processes and files documented to secure handover to the permanent incumbent.
05Support to the recruitment process and skills transfer when the replacement arrived.
