5 minutes with Juan Carlos
Juan Carlos (JC) joined Atlas in 2021. He is RICS qualified Chartered Surveyor with a professional background in Project Management, Quantity Surveying, with a focus on Contracts & Claims management with 30 years professional experience.
Hi JC, Tell us what brings you to Atlas?
After 4 years working for another consultant firm in Vietnam, I decided it was time for a change and to seek a new opportunity.After many years working in commercial management at the senior level, I wanted to engage in a new challenge and to progress my career by moving up to a director level position where my commercial management experience and contract expertise would be in demand.I was in the right place at the right time when I found Atlas to be the right fit for me!
What makes you excited about this Industry?
I have around 30 years’ experience in the commercial management of the construction industry. In that time, I have worked for developers, contractors and consultants in Quantity Surveying, Contract Advisory, and Project Management roles, which has given me a unique insight into all aspects of this industry.I have always worked closely with Architects and Engineers, and one of the most exciting things about this industry is to witness and contribute to the creation and transformation of spaces for people, from the initial concept design to the construction process.This is a complex industry with high commercial risk, and I am passionate about providing contract solutions to everyday design and construction issues and avoiding disputes with sound, fair and reasonable commercial arrangements.
Let describe the type of environments in which your leadership style is most effective!
My leadership style is open, democratic and diplomatic, based on the principles of communication, empowering people, confidence, integrity, mutual respect, adaptability, flexibility and professional values.My leadership style fits well into Atlas because the company has a positive and comfortable working environment, which is able to maximize human potential through professionalism, teamwork and a deep foundation of trust and confidence between the leaders of the business and with all employees at all levels.
What would your best friend say they like the least about you?
If I’m passionate about something, I have a tendency to talk too much about it!
Thank you for taking the time to speak with us JC!
