Contract Administrator and Proposal Coordinator specializing in tender coordination and quantity take-offs.
What I'm looking for
I’m an experienced Contract and Tender Coordination professional with over two years of experience delivering high-value infrastructure projects. I’m committed to applying my strengths in document administration, project coordination, and clear stakeholder communication to support strong project outcomes.
In my most relevant roles, I’ve assisted with project administration for tunneling works and delivered detailed quantity take-offs with 100% compliance for claimant processes. I’ve also managed more than 10 tender exercises, coordinating quotations and streamlining tendering to support accurate costing, comparisons, and successful civil infrastructure bids.
My background also includes hands-on engineering coordination—supervising manufacturing and installation of water and sewage systems, drafting steel tanks using AutoCAD, and supporting factory acceptance tests while adhering to HSE standards. Alongside my work, I contribute through student and advocacy leadership, strengthening teamwork and welfare-focused collaboration.
