      Responsible for various projects while working directly with clients. Responsibilities included account management and project management by assisting with designs, developing quotations/proposals taking into account any and all costs needed for a project and managing the project with production to ensure all specifications and deadlines are met. Some project also required supplier interaction which I managed and had to cost into a project. I was also responsible for setting up my annual budget and ensuring that this was met on a monthly basis. My aim is not only to get a project completed, but to complete it efficiently, cost effectively andaccording to the client specification. Show less
