I am currently a retail planner at Overbury which is part of a group known as Morgan Sindall REaL Fitout and they specialize in fitouts for offices and major retail chains such as Harrods and House of Fraiser to name a few. I am Asta PowerProject and MS Project competent and I am also qualified in Prince 2. I am still a trainee and still learning so granted I will be inexperienced as I'm only 18 but that is also one of my advantages as I have been using the latest versions of programmes competently and I am not conservative but open to change when required.

Assistant to Contract Administrator, Overbury, Mallett/Fendi

I assisted the quantity surveyor and the project's manager make a full assessment of the building and whether it was viable for us to accept the project and whether it would produce the required amount of benefits. Also, I attended a Prince2 training course whilst creating the tender for the project and found this to be an experience in itself. The amount of intensive studying required was a shock although I highly recommend attending the course as it does give you a greater understanding of project management and does provide with several foundations and processes.
