What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a project-administration role where accuracy, stakeholder alignment, and continuous improvement matter. I want to own project registers, reporting, and governance support, and keep learning while delivering reliable outcomes under pressure.

I’m a detail-oriented and highly organized Project Administrator with a bachelor’s degree in administration and hands-on experience supporting IT, telecoms, and project delivery. I’m known for listening and observing first, then providing practical solutions that keep stakeholders aligned.

In my most recent role as a Project Management Administrator at Sanlam, I maintain accurate project registers, track milestones, and ensure timely logging and closure of incidents and actions. I support project governance by preparing meeting agendas, minutes, and status reports for pod check-ins and monthly team meetings.

Previously at BCX Ltd., I managed project information gathering and ensured timeous logging and closure of installation incidents on relevant systems. I followed up on deadlines and issue status, coordinated with customers on ongoing project status, and arranged technicians and vendors for on-site installations within agreed timeframes.

Earlier roles strengthened my operations and reporting skills, including compiling reports with Power BI and supporting project office administration via SharePoint and Jira. I bring strong planning, coordination, and communication, and I stay calm under pressure while using tools like MS Project, Jira, SharePoint, Power BI, and Miro to drive accurate documentation and workflow management.
