Jacek’s proudest achievement at Gleeds is leading the 3T Office Park project in Gdynia, Poland. This significant project, spanning 60,000 square meters, was more than just a construction effort. It involved intense coordination among various stakeholders, adherence to BREEAM certification requirements, and ensuring tenant satisfaction. Under his leadership, the project not only transformed Gdynia's skyline but also solidified Gleeds' reputation for excellence in large-scale developments. In Jacek’s words:
This extensive project was not just about managing a construction site but steering a city-defining landmark towards reality.
Outside of work, Jacek enjoys diving and sailing, finding peace and refreshment in the sea. If not in his current line of work, he would likely return to academia as a lecturer, eager to impart real-world industry insights to students.
Reflecting on his journey, Jacek advises:
Keep your eyes wide open and be ready for anything; here, every day is a new challenge.
