@yolandetinley
I keep engineering projects organised through precise document control and administrative support.
What I'm looking for
I've supported engineering consultancies, project teams and service-based organisations for more than 20 years, keeping administration, technical records and stakeholder communication running smoothly.
At Livewire Engineering & Consulting, I served as the primary contact between clients, management and contractors, resolving enquiries, maintaining records and building strong client relationships.
During 12 years at SiVEST SA, I controlled and distributed technical documentation, managed project registers, supported engineers and project managers, and maintained QMS and ISO 9001 compliance across high-profile engineering and infrastructure projects.
I've also provided office, executive and customer-facing support in hospitality, consulting, recruitment and project environments. I bring a methodical approach to confidential information, competing priorities and accurate service delivery.
