What I'm looking for

I am seeking a fully remote opportunity where I can apply my transferable skills across different industries. With experience in project coordination, operations, procurement and administration, I am adaptable and open to new challenges. I value a collaborative environment that recognises contributions, encourages professional growth and offers opportunities for career progression.

I am a Project & Procurement Coordinator with a background in operations, supply chain management, logistics and luxury residential development.

I currently work for a property development and management company in the Turks and Caicos Islands, where I recently supported the successful delivery of a $12 million luxury residential development comprising five private villas. I have since begun coordinating procurement for our next residential development, also valued at approximately $12 million.

My experience includes international procurement and logistics, supplier and vendor management, FF&E coordination, budget monitoring, reviewing drawings and specifications, maintaining project schedules and documentation, and working closely with contractors, consultants and senior management to keep projects progressing.

One of my proudest achievements was independently leading the preparation, design and submission of three entries for the International Property Awards, all of which went on to win their respective categories with prestigious five-star ratings.

My professional background also includes operations and administration within the education and electrical supply industries, giving me transferable skills across different sectors.

I am currently studying towards my Project Management Professional (PMP) certification and am particularly interested in opportunities involving project coordination, procurement, business operations, supply chain management and process improvement.

I enjoy solving problems, improving workflows, coordinating teams and ensuring projects are delivered efficiently. My long-term goal is to continue developing professionally, take on greater responsibility and progress into project or operations management.

I am based in the Turks and Caicos Islands and am seeking remote opportunities with international companies where I can contribute my experience while continuing to grow professionally.
