Summary

Having recently obtained the CAPM certification to formalise my years of project management responsibilities within the maritime industry, I am seeking a Junior Project Manager role. My experience in managing complex projects, leading teams, and coordinating resources across various environments, though not always reflected in formal job titles, has equipped me with the skills necessary to support senior project managers and contribute meaningfully to any project.

A dedicated, results-driven professional with extensive experience in operations and project management on vessels. I have developed expertise in resource management, decision-making under pressure, and team leadership in high-stakes, rapidly changing environments. My skills align with an emphasis on teamwork, data-driven decisions, and proactive initiative, and I am keen to contribute to the success of the organisation.
