On January 2, Stéphane Lashermes will take up his new position at the Gard departmental council. The head of technical services at Poulx is turning a 33-year pageant, which began in 1992 when he joined the green spaces department. “I was recruited by Michel Quiot, the mayor at the time and as I also had a diploma in mechanics, I ensured the maintenance of the machines. It is a profession where versatility is essential, we touch on everything, building, electricity, road problems After my supervisory exam in 2000 I took responsibility for technical services, with an increasing share of the administrative part in my daily life. sometimes complicated beginnings but I had been trained by Yolande Maillot, a town hall secretary, a valuable help. I have always tried to have human management, it is important for me, especially within a community. Even if his new position in the logistics department of the Department motivates him, Stéphane Lashermes is a little nostalgic about leaving the municipal service. “It’s a big part of my life, I’ve known four mayors, met some great people so obviously it touches me to leave, but fortunately I live in Poulx and I intend to stay there.”
