Daquie Gim Villantes: Dedication That Extends Beyond the Field

Fatherhood is built on the same values that define excellence, including patience, responsibility, and the commitment to do things right. At Atlas Copco Group, these values extend beyond the workplace into everyday life. For Daquie Gim Villantes, being a father and an engineer are not separate roles, but expressions of one shared purpose.

Engineering with Intent and Integrity

As a Field Service Engineer, Daquie brings precision and purpose to his work. His days focus on electrical troubleshooting, reprogramming, commissioning, and compressor overhauls—ensuring every machine runs safely, efficiently, and without compromise. Preventive maintenance isn’t just routine for him; it’s a responsibility to keep operations reliable and secure.

Lessons in Leadership: From Field to Family

The field taught Daquie that real solutions start with understanding. In troubleshooting, he doesn’t rush—he studies, gathers the right details, and decides with precision and patience. That discipline carries into fatherhood. He leads the same way he works; calm, deliberate, and thoughtful. For him, guiding his children isn’t about quick answers—it’s about listening, understanding, and choosing the right response with care.

The Power of Showing Up

Despite the demands of on-site work, Daquie makes sure his family feels his presence in meaningful ways. After a long day, he heads straight home, often bringing food to share—a simple gesture that turns into connection. Those quiet, everyday moments with his children are what recharge him the most. For Daquie, it’s not about grand gestures, but about showing up consistently and being present.

A Principle that Shapes Every Decision

His guiding principle is simple, yet powerful:

“Work safely so that you can go home safely.”

It’s more than a workplace reminder; it’s personal commitment. His family is his motivation, and every safe decision on the job is a step closer to being with them at the end of the day.

Values That Go Beyond the Role

If there’s one thing Daquie hopes his children will understand about his work, it’s that the lessons go beyond engineering. Responsibility, patience, and problem-solving aren’t just professional skills—they are values he lives by as a father.
 

Because for Daquie, being a great engineer and being a great parent come down to the same principle: showing up with dedication, care, and the will to do things right.

Beyond his role in the field, Daquie leads with purpose as a father. This Father’s Day, we recognize those whose dedication does not end at work, but continue in the way they care, guide, and show up at home.
