Vincent Bayeul is Training Manager at Trimble. Since 2016, he has been putting his skills and know-how at the service of his team, as well as the company's customers. Interview with a technology enthusiast who was afraid of missing the BIM train.
At the age of 34, Vincent Bayeul admits it himself: he has "done quite a bit of traveling". Before joining Trimble in June 2016, he began his career in a design office. " My job was to design networks in buildings, mainly heating, air conditioning and drainage". One thing led to another, and he rose through the ranks to become an activity manager.
But it was at this point that the BIM revolution began to take hold. Passionate about new technologies, Vincent quickly realized that his company had to jump on the bandwagon to stay in the race. "I pushed my boss at the time to buy BIM software, and the choice fell on Trimble. But in my business at the time, I wasn't using them. It was then that the young man realized that if he ever wanted to get back into the business, he needed to understand how this software worked to stay at the cutting edge of industry knowledge.
An arrival as a trainer at Trimble
So, in 2016, Vincent Bayeul decided to change companies, and his choice fell on Trimble, which develops the BIM software that fascinates him and recruits at its Lyon offices.

And at the end of that period, I gave my first training session on my own!"
For a curious man like Vincent, the challenge wasn't all that difficult. Today, he's in charge of training at Trimble. "I plan training courses, suggest dates and look after the training programs, which have to be developed and kept up to date. I also manage the team of trainers",
