What I'm looking for

I seek a stable, growth-oriented role where I can apply operations, logistics and admin skills, contribute process improvements, and take on increasing responsibility within a supportive team.

I am an experienced operations and administrative professional with a strong background in logistics, payroll administration, procurement and customer service across retail, security, mining and manufacturing sectors. I consistently manage ordering, data capture, dispatch and after-sales coordination to keep operations running smoothly.

In prior roles I supervised delivery teams, administered payroll and asset control for multi-site security operations, coordinated international purchasing and supported procurement and buyer functions. I have hands-on experience training staff, managing after-sales processes, and liaising with suppliers to resolve credits and service issues.

I am organized, detail-oriented and adaptable, with practical knowledge of SAP basics, substance testing procedures and workplace health & safety. I am seeking a challenging role where I can contribute operational reliability, improve processes and grow within a stable company.
