Summary

Dedicated and focused Project Management with over 22 years of experience working to the highest standards. I have a long track record of ensuring projects are delivered to the highest quality, within budget, by effectively organising, managing and utilising all resources. I can lead teams on Commercial, Residential, Hospitality and Retail fit-out projects where the highest standards are routinely demanded. Always wanting to be actively involved in all aspects of the project life-cycle, I can deliver high-value projects in matrixed organisations and across different geographies. I can take directions well and work hard to manage stakeholder expectations. I can quickly react to problems- solving any issues that arise with good initiative and logical thinking skills that I have accumulated. I am willing to travel and spend periods away, and I am currently looking for a suitable position with a market-leading company excelling at prioritizing, completing multiple tasks simultaneously and following through to achieve project goals. Flexible, detail-oriented and adaptive team player with expertise in equipment operation, staff training and development, customer service and process improvements.
