NigeriaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a Project Coordinator / Project Controls professional with 7+ years supporting planning, execution, and performance tracking across multi-stakeholder initiatives. With a Civil Engineering background, I focus on schedule coordination, budget monitoring, and clear project reporting to help teams make data-driven decisions.
I currently build expertise in project controls—strengthening my approach to scheduling, cost management, and performance analytics within construction and infrastructure environments. I’ve coordinated workplans, timelines, deliverables, and documentation while aligning partners and internal teams around defined accountability.
Across donor-funded and large-scale programmes, I’ve managed programme budgets and donor reporting requirements to ensure compliance and efficient use of resources. I’ve also led stakeholder engagement and crisis-response interventions, improving programme adoption by up to 50% and access to essential services by 40% across target communities.
