What I'm looking for

I'm looking to support senior leadership in an international or remote environment where I can coordinate operations, improve processes, use data for decision-making, and contribute to sustainability, organisational development, and responsible resource management.

At GZ Industries, I coordinate production operations, multidisciplinary teams, schedules, resources, and management reporting for senior operational leadership. I use SAP and Power BI to support decisions, helped reduce overtime expenditure by 12%, reduced material scrap by 5%, and cut newcomer onboarding time by 20% through peer mentorship.

I've also supported commissioning and expansion work in Nigeria, led technical coordination for water-recycling and real-time reporting projects, and am pursuing an MBA in Sustainability. I bring mechanical engineering, project coordination, SOP development, and practical experience working across production, maintenance, quality, safety, and international teams.
