WEBVTT 1 00:00:05.000 --> 00:00:06.520 My name is Cristián González. 2 00:00:06.520 --> 00:00:10.040 I have been working at Enel for 13 years now. 3 00:00:15.120 --> 00:00:18.400 I came to Enel through a friend 4 00:00:18.400 --> 00:00:20.080 who recommended me 5 00:00:20.080 --> 00:00:22.840 and that led me to work for the company. 6 00:00:27.840 --> 00:00:30.400 I studied civil engineering in chemistry 7 00:00:30.520 --> 00:00:32.880 at the Santiago de Chile University. 8 00:00:37.960 --> 00:00:41.720 I have mainly worked on the efficiency of thermoelectric plants. 9 00:00:41.840 --> 00:00:45.320 Initially we focused on all the other technologies as well: 10 00:00:45.440 --> 00:00:48.000 wind, hydroelectric, and so on. 11 00:00:53.000 --> 00:00:56.000 My job is a lot of fun 12 00:00:56.000 --> 00:00:57.680 because you must calculate many things, 13 00:00:57.680 --> 00:00:59.880 you must process a lot of information. 14 00:01:00.040 --> 00:01:02.080 You must manage large volumes of data. 15 00:01:02.120 --> 00:01:06.080 You also must have meetings with the people who work at the plant, 16 00:01:06.080 --> 00:01:09.720 who know the plant far better than you do. 17 00:01:14.760 --> 00:01:17.720 We’ve never really had a problem 18 00:01:17.720 --> 00:01:21.920 working with different countries, people and regions. 19 00:01:21.920 --> 00:01:24.720 Deep down, we all speak the same language, 20 00:01:24.720 --> 00:01:27.040 since engineering unites us all. 21 00:01:27.160 --> 00:01:30.200 There really isn’t much of a difference between us. 22 00:01:30.200 --> 00:01:32.280 What I mean is that we all have the same goal, 23 00:01:32.280 --> 00:01:36.000 which is for plants to operate at and retain maximum efficiency. 24 00:01:41.040 --> 00:01:43.360 I’ve been working for the company 25 00:01:43.560 --> 00:01:46.120 for 12 or 13 years. 26 00:01:46.160 --> 00:01:48.320 Many new technologies have been incorporated: 27 00:01:48.320 --> 00:01:53.080 for example, at the beginning it would have been inconceivable to have a drone 28 00:01:53.080 --> 00:01:56.680 flying over the plant capturing data in real time, 29 00:01:56.920 --> 00:02:02.160 feeding that information automatically into the efficiency control models 30 00:02:02.240 --> 00:02:04.440 that the company is implementing. 31 00:02:04.440 --> 00:02:07.640 And so, I’ve seen this innovation in my own field, in my own work. 32 00:02:12.720 --> 00:02:16.440 I often use creativity, ingenuity 33 00:02:16.440 --> 00:02:19.840 and innovation to get the job done, 34 00:02:19.840 --> 00:02:22.560 to manage large volumes of data 35 00:02:22.560 --> 00:02:24.680 and in very short timeframes. 36 00:02:24.680 --> 00:02:27.400 Sometimes you simply don't have much time to respond 37 00:02:27.680 --> 00:02:31.480 and you must figure out how to solve 38 00:02:31.880 --> 00:02:34.640 or analyze a large amount of information 39 00:02:34.880 --> 00:02:36.040 in a very short time. 40 00:02:36.040 --> 00:02:38.600 So, creativity is constantly at play here. 41 00:02:43.600 --> 00:02:45.800 Basically, as an engineer, 42 00:02:45.800 --> 00:02:49.000 a large company like this is always attractive. 43 00:02:49.000 --> 00:02:51.520 A company that moves energy 44 00:02:51.640 --> 00:02:54.840 and that can implement projects that are critical 45 00:02:54.840 --> 00:02:56.240 for the country’s development. 46 00:02:56.240 --> 00:02:59.480 I think that’s attractive to any professional 47 00:02:59.480 --> 00:03:01.520 or engineer, because deep down 48 00:03:01.520 --> 00:03:05.040 it’s where you want to play your part 49 00:03:05.040 --> 00:03:07.920 in building a more technologically advanced country, 50 00:03:07.920 --> 00:03:11.560 with more energy and more development. 51 00:03:11.560 --> 00:03:15.280 Meaning, in the end the energy that Enel produces 52 00:03:15.280 --> 00:03:18.160 is the fundamental pillar for the country’s development. 53 00:03:18.160 --> 00:03:21.240 So, of course, that attracts your attention 54 00:03:21.240 --> 00:03:23.440 and makes you want to be a part of it. 55 00:03:28.560 --> 00:03:31.800 Sure, of course. 56 00:03:31.800 --> 00:03:33.600 It’s a very good company and it’s a company 57 00:03:33.600 --> 00:03:36.440 that offers you many opportunities. 58 00:03:36.440 --> 00:03:41.760 If you want to change and work and move within the company, 59 00:03:41.760 --> 00:03:43.520 you always have the chance to do so. 60 00:03:48.520 --> 00:03:50.520 Probably playing sports, 61 00:03:50.520 --> 00:03:51.920 it's something I really like to do. 62 00:03:51.920 --> 00:03:54.760 Working, probably at Enel, yes, for sure. 63 00:03:54.800 --> 00:03:58.360 And then I don't know, they say technology changes every three years, 64 00:03:58.360 --> 00:04:01.360 so there is always something new to learn. 65 00:04:01.400 --> 00:04:06.560 Now we are starting to work with drones, focusing on digital energy. 66 00:04:07.120 --> 00:04:11.400 It’s a whole complex world, so it’s hard to say what will come next, 67 00:04:11.400 --> 00:04:12.880 but more than likely we’ll be working 68 00:04:12.880 --> 00:04:15.200 with even better technological tools than the ones we have now. 69 00:04:20.280 --> 00:04:24.560 Mainly training for table tennis, 70 00:04:24.560 --> 00:04:27.160 it’s my biggest passion 71 00:04:27.160 --> 00:04:30.120 to which I devote most of my time. 72 00:04:30.160 --> 00:04:34.200 The level we have managed to reach, through training and hard work, 73 00:04:34.320 --> 00:04:38.240 having competed in the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, was the real payoff. 74 00:04:38.280 --> 00:04:44.040 It was the reward for all the sacrifices made over the years. 75 00:04:49.040 --> 00:04:53.040 For me, energy is what has allowed me 76 00:04:53.320 --> 00:04:56.240 to achieve my goals. 77 00:04:56.240 --> 00:04:58.560 It means being able to prove that you can work 78 00:04:58.560 --> 00:05:01.320 and play sports at the same high-performance level.
