Whilst at Perenco, I was approached by Qmuli for a role similar to one I successfully performed at Archant. This role was to copy chase and ensured digital files met press technical specifications for national newspaper and magazine titles. I also provided client support across various applications and websites. Qmuli hired me to manage an anticipated influx of work from Reach plc, but this work did not materialise, leading to role becoming redundant.

I performed weekly yard checks, documented the findings in spreadsheets, and communicated them to the management team and the suppliers, addressing related queries. I periodically liaised with offshore teams to monitor long-term rental units and provided necessary reports. My role also involved sourcing container units and tracking them for third-party vendors, ensuring the containers were emptied and returned promptly. I demonstrated strong computer literacy, particularly in Microsoft Excel and Word, and possessed excellent planning, organising, and numerical skills with keen attention to detail. Effective communication, both verbal and written, was crucial to my success in this position.
