Yesenia Hernandez
@yeseniahernandez1
Project coordinator specializing in facilities, capital projects, and design technology.
What I'm looking for
I’m a bilingual project coordination and administrative operations professional with 10+ years of experience supporting facilities, capital projects, design technology, and cross-functional operations. I’m known for building organized workflows, maintaining accurate documentation, and keeping stakeholders aligned from planning through delivery.
In facilities and project support roles, I’ve organized schedules and project files, supported budget, invoice, and cash flow tracking, and coordinated procurement and vendors. I also manage document control and as-builts, capture meeting minutes and action items, and help teams make faster, better-documented decisions.
I bring design-technology capability into operations by producing AutoCAD drawings, equipment layouts, wiring diagrams, and classroom/digital fabrication deliverables. I’ve also led HR and administrative operations—onboarding, compliance documentation, payroll/attendance tracking, and accurate HRIS and financial records—so teams stay operational, responsive, and ready to execute.
