I have a varied skill set which includes working in positions such as a Contracts Manager, Administration Project Co-ordinator and Production Co-ordinator.
I am now looking to work in an administrative role as a project co-ordinator, eventually working my way up into project management.
Core Competencies
Strong attention to detail. Exceptional organisational skills. Excellent communicator. Team player, as well as working well as part of a team. Highly proactive. Able to meet strict deadlines in a highly pressurised environment. Outgoing personality. Excellent administration skills. Able to prioritise a demanding workload. Excellent quality control skills.
My greatest achievement was to set up successful new administration procedures within the tableau department of which I used to monitor all stock levels and current and previous contract status. I also developed a new costing matrix for all new and existing projects, which was used by project managers to cost estimate a project swiftly, reducing the need to use other resources that would normally take two days to cost.
