I coordinate government utility operations, invoicing, records, and administrative processes.
LebanonWhat I'm looking for
I've supported utility operations at Mrad Utility Services since 2018, coordinating execution, inspection, and construction departments while preparing execution plans and procedures. I was named Employee of the Year.
Previously, at National Electric Utility S.A.L, I managed fast-paced invoicing for executed work orders and applications, compiled multiple records daily, and created execution plans under tight deadlines.
I've also trained new staff in computer and data-entry skills. At Electricité du Liban, I used financial forecasting and reporting to reduce risks and support cost-conscious decisions.
Alongside my administrative career, I teach English grammar and support primary and secondary students with homework in mathematics and physics. I hold a bachelor's degree in Business Administration and Management from Beirut Arab University.
