I lead national fibre operations, compliance, and project controls teams.
What I'm looking for
I lead national operational administration and project controls for Frogfoot Networks across concurrent FTTH, FTTB, MDU, and ad hoc fibre programmes.
I manage a seven-person team, allocate workloads, resolve escalations, and coordinate contractor compliance, project documentation, HOD packs, job cards, CPAC processes, and invoice-support documentation.
I've reduced documentation approval turnaround by approximately 80% and improved compliance audit pass rates from approximately 50% to 90% through stronger workflows, evidence, controls, and follow-up. I also provide Power BI reporting for biweekly Steerco meetings and support project and budget approval workflows exceeding R2 million.
My background includes UK telecommunications work with British Telecommunications and NTL-Kelly, plus nine years of disciplined technical systems maintenance in Radio/Radar environments with the South African Navy. I bring structured troubleshooting, remote-work discipline, stakeholder communication, and practical process improvement to high-volume operational environments.
