The function of a Project Coordinator at Engen involves all of the tasks as a Project Administrator, but you are assigned as a Project Manager on small projects or workstreams in a programme. As a Project Coordinator, all project artifacts such as the Project Charter, Project Management Plan, Schedule etc was created by me on the projects that I was assigned to manage, and I would report back to a Steering Committee Meeting on a monthly basis.The biggest highlight from my career at Engen was being assigned to work on a programme that would restructure the entire finance department/element in the Engen environment in Africa. I was assigned to complete the administration portion for the programme and one other project under the programme, and then as the Project Manager of a small project under the programme as well. This experience enabled me to engage at a senior management and CEO level. I had to manage the coordination of meetings, travel and forums across the all regions that Engen has presence, as well as ensuring the project artifacts are signed off and all governance processes are followed.

This entailed taking meeting minutes, meeting logistics, travel arrangements, weekly and monthly reporting, updating of budgets, getting signoff on various project artifacts, following up on tasks, and ensuring issues and risks are addressed. All of these tasks would need to be completed to pass the Stage Gates as set by the Engen PMO.A couple of highlights from my experience as a Project Administrator at Engen was working on a project to redesign the Engen performance management system for mid-year and year-end reviews. This involved a lot of coordination of calendars and communication to the stakeholders to ensure that the outcomes are communicated across the company. Another highlight was working on a project that enabled Refinery workers to capture the waste at the Refinery in SAP using the Waste Management module. This involved coordination and communication in a different region, and involved detailed training which needed to be coordinated.
