Lucca Myngheer

As a Operations Engineer, I manage a 3,000 km pipeline network spanning the Benelux and West Germany, ensuring efficient and reliable operations. My responsibilities include performing accurate day-ahead nominations for natural gas and electricity to support production units (H₂, CO, O₂, N₂, and Ar) while optimising pipeline efficiency through strategic planning implementation. I oversee customer forecasts to maintain consistent delivery, and swiftly resolve unforeseen network issues to ensure operational stability. Collaborating closely within a team of three operations engineers, I contribute to the seamless functioning of our extensive infrastructure.

As a Nuclear engineer at the Doel Nuclear Power Plant (DNPP), I started an 18-month program covering nuclear fundamentals, safety protocols, radiation protection, and plant operations. I gained expertise in operating and managing the plant’s circuits and processes through theoretical training and simulator practice. Following this, I contributed to operational tasks and technical projects in departments such as Operations and Engineering, focusing on safety and efficiency. The program equipped me for roles like instructor or testing engineer, supporting advancements in the nuclear energy sector. Unfortunately, I realized that I was more in search of a position that challenged me on a commercial level as well. Hence, the reason why I accepted an offer at Air Liquide as an operations engineer.
