Orestis Padouvas — Engineer | Hands-on Problem Solver | International Experience
I am an Agricultural Engineer with a diverse, hands-on professional background, combining engineering knowledge with practical mechanical skills, GIS and mapping experience, digital content production, and extensive international travel.
Over the years, I have developed a strong ability to work independently, solve practical problems, take responsibility and adapt quickly to changing circumstances. This has given me a particularly versatile skill set that extends beyond a conventional engineering profile.
What I bring:
- Engineering background — MSc in Agricultural Engineering, with professional experience in GIS, geospatial data and technical environments.
- Hands-on mechanical skills — extensive experience with mechanical troubleshooting, DIY repairs, custom fabrication and motorcycle mechanics, including the complete assembly of a custom adventure motorcycle from two donor bikes and parts I facricated myself.
- International experience — more than 500,000 km of independent travel across Europe, Asia Minor and Africa, involving detailed planning, logistics and continuous adaptation to unfamiliar circumstances.
- GIS & mapping — professional experience in GIS consulting, geodatabases, mapping, digitising and geospatial data management.
- Digital & communication skills — experience in content editing in both English and Greek, proofreading, video production, sound processing and geospatial storytelling for an international audience.
- Technology & data quality — current experience working with multilingual data, quality control and AI-related data evaluation.
I am now looking for an opportunity where I can bring this combination of technical understanding, independence, adaptability and international outlook to a professional environment. I enjoy learning new systems, working with different people and adapting my existing skills to new challenges.
I am open to opportunities in Monaco and the wider region, particularly positions where my combination of engineering knowledge, technical aptitude, mobility, organisational skills can add value.
