Served as the Subject Matter Expert (SME) for construction, providing expert guidance and insight to the team. I spearheaded operational improvements, streamlining processes by calculating FTEs and successfully offshoring time-consuming tasks to increase efficiency. Authored a comprehensive 'Way of Working' update to enhance clarity, supporting the transition into offshoring and Project Nova. Acted as a key team member, proactively taking on additional responsibilities, resolving issues related to NOCs, and rectifying historic policies, projects, and facilities. As the first to be cross-trained on LDI, I was able to master the new role within just five days of training over a few weeks, demonstrating adaptability and a strong capacity for learning.
