MOD contract in Iraq.This job consisted of:Starting off in control of project works as part of the project team on an MOD site in Iraq controlling subcontractors on several project installations (new works) for the military and then being invited to stay on as an Asset Manager. I was then asked to take over the Commercial Manager’s position. The work I did at Turner FM was varied and covered a wide range of challenges which gave me many opportunities to grow in my career including:Firstly within project works, I was covering controlling the subcontractors on ground work right through to test and commission of the final build. Secondly as an asset manager, I collated and monitored the progress of all assets on the site.Finally as a commercial manager, I was producing tender enquiries and reports, month end reports etc. With this role the environment was sometimes just as challenging, if not more, as the varied work challenges. The varied roles gave me the chance to showcase to my employer the numerous skills and abilities I had to offer the company.
