I’m a Project Management Assistant delivering executive support and data-driven coordination.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Project Management Assistant with hands-on experience supporting daily executive operations, stakeholder-ready documentation, and project tracking. In my current role, I manage calendars, draft professional emails/briefs/proposals, maintain project dashboards, and use spreadsheets to support BOQs, cost summaries, budgeting, and invoicing.
Before this, I worked as an Assistant Site Engineer, coordinating site activities, interpreting technical layouts, monitoring subcontractors, and supporting safety compliance. I also trained through ALX in Virtual Assistance and AI Career Essentials, strengthening my documentation, digital productivity, workflow automation, and communication skills to help teams execute smoothly and follow up consistently.
