About
I have 28 years’ experience in the construction industry. I have worked in Procurement and Contract Administration for a large construction organisation. I have extensive experience working in a professional office environment doing all relevant administrative tasks as well day to day tasks.
I am responsible, adaptable, motivated, and complete my work timeously. I work efficiently without sacrificing accuracy and thoroughness. I maintain the highest standards, and I believe that I would be a great choice to help ensure the integrity of your business.
I identify problems and take care of them. I will take up any challenges and handle them independently without much assistance. I am a fast learner and always eager to learn something new. If you are looking for an enthusiastic and diligent professional with strong analytical and research skills, who can provide outstanding work – then I’m the person you need to work with.
