PROJECT MANAGER/ SITE MANAGER -INTERIOR FIT OUT & FINISHING

Summary

As an accomplished Fit-Out Interior Manager with 20 years of experience in project and production management, I am passionate about driving operational excellence, optimizing processes, and leading site execution. I have a strong track record of enhancing productivity, maintaining high-quality standards, and ensuring project delivery within timeframes and budgets through strategic planning, effective leadership, and problem-solving.

My expertise extends to streamlining fit-out and joinery processes by implementing lean manufacturing techniques and optimizing costs. I am also eager to explore new opportunities in business development, particularly in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia, where I can leverage my industry knowledge to foster growth and cultivate lasting client relationships.

I look forward to connecting and discussing potential opportunities where I can contribute my skills and experience.
