What I'm looking for

I’m looking for an operations role where I can own commercial controls, procurement coordination, and audit-ready reporting across EPC/energy projects, with strong cross-functional collaboration and opportunity to drive process improvements in remote/global settings.

I’m an Operations professional with 17+ years steering business operations, procurement coordination, vendor management, executive administration, and commercial compliance across large-scale EPC, infrastructure, and energy projects.

I coordinate end-to-end commercial operations and procurement workflows, manage purchase order processes for 100+ suppliers, and support “100% material availability with zero project downtime.” I also lead GRN matching, invoice verification, supplier statement reconciliations, and full audit compliance while processing ₹5+Cr monthly disbursements.

To keep work fast and consistent across multi-location and remote environments, I rely on NetSuite ERP, TallyERP, Advanced Excel (PivotTables, VLOOKUP), MS Office 365, and cloud-based reporting to maintain vendor databases, track real-time procurement metrics, and deliver executive MIS dashboards.

Alongside commercial control, I handle administration for project teams—onboarding, payroll inputs, travel and site logistics, and daily operational support—having supported 60+ site and contract staff and managed operations spanning ₹200+Cr and ₹50+Cr multi-million-dollar projects.
