@theophilusopoku
Customer Success professional in fleet operations and engineering, supporting users and teaching Simulation and Modelling.
What I'm looking for
At Go-Ahead London, I work with controllers, drivers, technicians and managers to resolve operational problems and keep services running. When buses develop faults in service, I provide remote support, assess whether engineering attendance is needed and keep people updated.
At Brunel University London, I support students with Simulation and Modelling, explain technical concepts and provide practical feedback as they work through problems in Arena.
Previously, at Veolia, I managed service delivery for a fleet of more than 140 vehicles. Better planning and workflow management improved fleet availability by 20%, and the fleet achieved a 98% MOT first-time pass rate.
At Mitchells Powersystems, I coordinated engineering, logistics and client-service teams, reducing turnaround time by 15% while maintaining zero rework incidents over consecutive quarters. Earlier, with the Ghana Navy, I led engineering personnel, coordinated maintenance and delivered technical training.
