What I'm looking for

I am looking for a corporate role where I can apply biomedical engineering expertise to project coordination, procurement, and service delivery, with opportunities for growth and cross-functional collaboration.

I am a Senior Biomedical Engineer with extensive experience maintaining, repairing, and commissioning diverse medical devices, certified on GE Anaesthesia and experienced with IEC compliance. I have a strong track record of improving asset readiness through CapEx installations and streamlined servicing schedules.

Throughout my career I helped establish EBME workflows and service standards, led procurement and vendor management activities, and used medical equipment databases such as Medusa to improve operational efficiency. I have delivered training, coordinated audits, and supported tender and purchase order processes.

My background includes customer-facing roles where I developed excellent communication, complaint resolution, and relationship management skills at organisations such as Specsavers and the Post Office. I am recognised for analytical thinking, attention to detail, resilience under pressure, and creative troubleshooting.

I am seeking to transition into corporate sectors where I can apply transferable skills in project coordination, stakeholder engagement, and data-driven reporting to drive operational improvements and support strategic initiatives.
