Project Coordinator
Fourways,GP
Summary
Resourceful and highly organized professional with over 7 years of hands-on experience in office administration, project support, and customer service across dynamic industries including energy, financial services, and technical operations. Known for being dependable, detail-driven, and solutions-focused, I bring a calm, structured approach to complex administrative tasks and project logistics — both in the office and on-site.
With a Project Management Certificate from UNISA and a strong track record of supporting technical teams, coordinating travel and schedules, managing stock levels, and contributing to tender submissions, I thrive in roles where precision, planning, and people skills intersect. My experience at Eskom, Sanlam, and in office management has equipped me with a well-rounded understanding of client service, internal coordination, and operational efficiency.
I’m not just looking for a job — I’m looking to add value, keep things running smoothly, and help a business succeed from the inside out
