Encounter.

During the awards ceremony for the winners of the flower houses competition, Bruno Gicquello did not fail to welcome the arrival among the ranks of municipal employees of the brand new manager of technical services: Maël Kermones, from Brest.

Gold digger!

His first post took him away from his native land. “I went to Africa as part of international corporate volunteering (VIE)”, this system allows young French people and nationals of a country in the European Economic Area, aged 18 to 28, to start their international career… And sometimes, it means having access to exciting missions… “I was a gold prospector, a geologist, I had completed two Masters degrees. » Gold! ? Did he find any? “Yes, a lot”, so you are rich? “No, these are positions that are very poorly paid.” Maël Kermones will work for two years for the subsidiary La Mancha, a French company which employs him. “Then I went as a consultant in a former cooperation dependent on the Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs”, he remained in Africa.

The adventurous spirit

At the end of almost two years as a consultant, he felt the desire to “go around the world by car”, he traveled a large part of Europe, continued in Africa, went as far as Australia “I returned to France in December 2018 after living in Scotland”, where he had his pied-à-terre.

“But security conditions were becoming difficult”, so he responded to a job offer in Orléans where he took “responsibility for mapping for GRDF”, he stayed there for 4 years and continued “for 18 months as a bio-methane engineer” .

There, he meets his new partner “she dances in a Celtic circle”, he himself is a musician, there is harmony and a new beginning “we wanted to return to Brittany, our homeland”, unfolds Mael.

Since December 9, he has headed the town's technical center.
