Velp can easily be called the epicenter of Dutch facade construction. Facédo Geveltechniek has been supplying quality facades from the town in Gelderland for more than 14 years.
"We are proud of the fact that we continuously receive the trust of all our regular customers," says Dennis Leijser, director and owner of Facédo. Leijser, together with his close-knit team, has managed to position the company in the top 5 of Dutch plastic and aluminum facade construction. He himself does not dwell on this so much; after all, continuity and pleasant cooperation are at the forefront at Facédo. "We are a company for and by people, we always have been and we will keep it that way," he outlines. "Our clients appreciate us for that too. You don't do business on paper here, but with people who put their heart and soul into our customers."
Facédo thinks pre-eminently in solutions and may be seen as the extension of the architect. Sometimes exceptional solutions are requested: "Then we are in our element. We owe this to the expertise our employees possess and the way we apply ourselves. Besides the fact that we only supply A-quality materials from certified and innovative system houses, together we ensure that throughout the entire process, from design to completion, communication with all parties involved is smooth. In doing so, we like to be ahead of the fanfare, spotting early on where the work might pinch and coming up with solutions well in advance. We like to have an early seat at the table with the construction team and reduce complex issues to their essence, so that it is pleasant for everyone in the construction column to work together."
Working at Facédo is for doers, who like a high degree of independence. Ownership and personal freedom are typical core values of the company. "We therefore experience that people send open applications, based on good references received from our staff. In this way, a nice number of people have already started. Nevertheless, due to Facédo's growth and dynamism, we continue to have vacancies all the time. For example, we have a very nice position available in the calculation department," Leijser suggests.
Erik van der Weerd is Calculation Manager at Facédo and in his department there is indeed a shortage of man or woman power. "We are looking for someone who wants to trade the dry calculation work for a more exciting position, where calculation is central. Besides calculating projects, our future colleague is going to distinguish himself by building up knowledge around construction. We help with that, of course. So the position is not only office-related, but partly in the field. Gaining experience in the field and attending knowledge sessions will ensure a broad horizon. So you can fill your own "backpack" with baggage. Here you are not an employee in the office, but part of a close team that works together very socially with one goal in mind: to deliver great work and make the customer happy. In the calculation department we play a commercial game, everything starts and ends in our department," Van der Weerd said. ❚
