Selected Achievements:• Assessed and implemented a modern eProcurement system enabling engineers to source engineering materials and tools directly, reducing effort and critical lead-times. • Tasked by the Executive Team I wrote a revised Travel Policy and then searched and implemented an automated travel booking system.
