What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values collaboration, offers growth opportunities, and allows me to leverage my project management skills to drive successful outcomes.

I am a dedicated project manager with a strong focus on detail and a passion for delivering successful projects. My experience spans across construction, engineering, and IT sectors, where I have honed my skills in project planning, risk management, and stakeholder engagement. I pride myself on my ability to communicate effectively and build strong relationships with team members, ensuring that everyone is aligned towards common goals.

Throughout my career, I have successfully managed various projects, including a website project for a recruitment company in the UK, where I was responsible for creating project plans, managing budgets, and facilitating communication between stakeholders. My analytical skills and problem-solving abilities have enabled me to track project performance closely and intervene promptly when challenges arise. I am committed to continuous improvement and thrive in dynamic environments where I can contribute to team success.
