Léopold De Schaetzen

Léopold started his Algeco career five years ago. He is responsible for the depot of Algeco Perwez. This depot is a subsidiary of Algeco Belgium where modular units are prepared for distribution.

He is a loving 31-year-old father of two children, loves skiing, and enjoys wine & dine moments with his friends and family. He finds gardening a delightful activity that provides fresh air, sun, vitamin D, exercise, and joy. Therefore, Léopold likes to spend his weekends (whether gardening or not) in his garden.

How would you best describe your job?

In my role as Service Center Manager, I am responsible for receiving, organizing, and distributing the modular units. This includes a wide variety of daily tasks such as:

Preparing modular units
Purchasing materials
Transport and fleet management
Personnel management
Adopting a problem-solving approach

What makes your workday a perfect/successful day?

A successful workday is one where I have been able to find solutions to unforeseen challenges that may arise throughout the day. And where also the various subcontractors and workers from Algeco have had a productive and especially constructive day in a positive mood.

How would your colleagues describe you?

My colleagues describe me as a jovial and sincere person who is always there for them and willing to help when needed.
I often take the lead on certain projects and promote communication between the different parties to ensure we are all on the same page.

Ultimately, we are all working towards the same goal:
"Creating smart spaces for people to live, work, and learn."

Which department would you like to work in sometime?

If I could change jobs for one day, I would undoubtedly choose a construction role.

I would really enjoy being able to change my work environment every day and contribute to the final structural installation of our modular units at the customer's project site.

What does Algeco mean to you?

I have known the modular construction company since I was young because my mother has worked for Algeco for over 20 years. During my studies, I held various student jobs, which gave me my first professional experience with the company.

When the opportunity arose to take over my mother's job at the depot in Perwez, I seized it with both hands. She continued to work in a promoted position at the headquarters in Beringen, while I started the integration process in Perwez.

Algeco is an exciting company to work for and has great plans for the future.
