What I'm looking for

I seek a hands-on operations or project leadership role where I can improve efficiency, manage teams, and deliver projects on time while growing responsibilities and impact.

I am an operations and project management professional with over 8 years' experience across retail, construction, and service-station environments. I lead teams, manage budgets, and coordinate multi-site operations to deliver projects on time and improve operational performance.

As a Senior Manager at a BP service station I managed daily operations, fuel stock control, cash handling, compliance and staff scheduling while driving sales growth and raising customer satisfaction through training and monitoring.

I have directed site operations and resource planning for construction projects, overseen procurement and stock control, and streamlined office processes as an Office and Store Manager to improve efficiency and record accuracy.

I bring strong financial planning, risk and supply-chain management skills, multilingual communication (English, Zulu, Ndebele, Sepedi, Afrikaans), and a practical, hands-on leadership style focused on measurable results and team development.
