What I'm looking for

I'm seeking CAFM administration or systems analysis opportunities where I can improve IWMS workflows, data integrity, user governance, spatial management, and facilities operations. I'm open to remote work and global relocation.

I built and established The Foschini Group's internal Archibus environment organization-wide, progressing from contractor to CAFM Administrator and CAFM Analyst.

I configured Archibus user profiles, permissions, security roles, reporting structures, SLAs, and on-demand work-ticket workflows. I also launched an intranet portal for employees to log and track building-services tickets.

My work combines Archibus, AutoCAD, spatial data, asset tracking, database remediation, SOP design, and user training. I've created technical manuals, trained multiple departments, mentored a graduate, and kept layouts, employee locations, equipment, and cost-centre allocations accurate.

More recently, I ran end-to-end retail operations and administered IQ Retail Enterprise, including permissions, inventory reconciliation, stock control, payroll, and sales analysis. I'm now focused on CAFM administration and systems analysis opportunities, including remote and global roles.
