      Safety Officer

      I was a safety officer (contract) tasked with the daily monitoring of work practices in the warehouse facility to ensure that they were compliant with company regulations. I ensured that all operations were done safely and with the appropriate protective gears. All trucks, forklifts, and other machinery had to be operated in a safe manner by all personnel - at all times, and it was my job to ensure full compliance.

      Based off of an excellent performance as DC manager and my career track record, I was very recently moved to the procurement unit in PZ Cussons Nigeria, as a procurement operations manager. I am fully responsible for direct communication with top suppliers to ensure all materials necessary for production are delivered on-time, in-full, and at the correct specifications. I am the intermediary between suppliers, factory, QC, finance, technical, etc. and must ensure that all parties deliver on their targets as it concerns material availability for production. It is a challenging role that I greatly enjoy doing. Show less After just over 2 years as a logistics manager at the PZ Cussons RDC facility in Aba, I was promoted,and tasked to oversee operations as the distribution center manager in the DC facility located in the PZ soap factory facility in Aba. I managed a team that oversaw daily operations for a 10,000 square foot warehouse, and inventory in excess of N1.5B. My role entailed managing a primary transport fleet of transporters to efficiently deliver finished products from the factory to all secondary locations (depots and RDCs) as well as export. I had to meticulously ensure that inbound from the factory and outbound replenishment to secondary locations were done on-time, in-full, at the best rates and with no damage to the products. We consistently achieved a >95% on all set targets. Show less I was a crucial part of the pioneering team that oversaw the project of transitioning the PZ Cussons depot/warehouse facility in Aba into a fully functional RDC (Regional distribution centre) for secondary distribution of products in the eastern region of Nigeria. In my role, I assessed and delivered on customer needs by directing a complicated logistics operation that included receiving, warehousing and shipping of a wide range of products daily, while also managing inventory, implementing policies/procedures, and spearheading a number of warehouse improvement initiatives that were aimed at advancing operational efficiencies.
