What I'm looking for

I’m looking for an administration/HR support role where I can lead day-to-day operations, coordinate staff and workflows, manage payroll and records accurately, and strengthen organizational efficiency through strong documentation and compliance.

I’m a results-driven Administrative and Personnel Professional with over 8 years of experience in office administration, HR support, and departmental coordination. I independently oversee departmental operations in the absence of management, keeping workflow continuity, coordinating staff schedules, and supporting executive-level functions in fast-paced environments.

In recent roles, I prepared and maintained HR and administrative documentation (including official HR letters, internal communications, and employee record support), managed confidential files securely, and supported compliance documentation processes. I’ve also coordinated procurement and inventory activities, maintained records of vouchers/invoices/quotations for finance processing, assisted with payroll preparation and verification, and contributed to HSSE initiatives through meetings and drills.
