Construction Project Manager | Construction Virtual Assistant | JobTread Implementation | Smartsheet | Primavera P6 𝗧𝗼𝗽 𝗥𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗿 helping contractors, remodelers, and owners run operations, implement JobTread, build accurate estimates, and control schedules — from preconstruction through closeout. I'm the person you bring in to make the back office run so the jobsite can. Whether you're standing up new construction software, racing a bid deadline, keeping a schedule from slipping, or drowning in admin, I plug in as an extension of your team. What I do for construction businesses:   • Project management & construction operations — I coordinate projects end to end: budgets, schedules, submittals, RFIs, subcontractor management, document control, and reporting that keeps owners and field teams aligned.   • JobTread implementation & construction tech — full setup and rollout: cost catalog architecture, custom fields, templates, QuickBooks Online integration, and DocuSign subcontractor onboarding, Estimation, etc. I make the software actually fit how your company builds.   • Automation — I connect your CRM, estimating, and accounting tools with JobTread's native workflows plus Zapier, Make, and n8n, so data flows without double entry and nothing falls through the cracks.   • Construction estimating & quantity takeoffs — detailed estimates, quantity takeoffs, Schedules of Values (SOVs), and reusable master estimating templates tied to your cost codes.   • Scheduling — CPM baseline schedules and updates in Primavera P6 and Smartsheet, look-aheads, progress tracking, and delay/claims support.   • Revit / BIM coordination — model-based takeoffs, coordination, and drawing management to tie design to budget and schedule.   • Construction virtual assistant — reliable day-to-day back-office support so nothing slips while you're in the field. Software I work in daily: JobTread • Primavera P6 • Smartsheet • QuickBooks Online • Autodesk Revit / BIM • Zapier / Make / n8n • DocuSign • Microsoft Excel I've supported residential, commercial, transit, and municipal projects, and I work comfortably across US, UK, AU, and East African time zones and standards. If you want someone who understands both construction workflows and the tools that run them, message me with what's slowing your team down — I'll tell you exactly how I'd fix it.

Don't hire me... Unless you are looking for an Executive Virtual Assistant who can keep your schedule running smoothly, coordinate seamless business and personal travel, and give you back 10+hours every week. Hi, I'm Pauline Onyambu, an Executive Virtual Assistant who helps busy executives, founders, consultants, and business owners stay organized, productive, and focused on what matters most. I believe executive support is about much more than checking off tasks. It's about anticipating needs before they arise. It's about making sure your meetings, travel, and priorities work together seamlessly. And it's about becoming the person you trust to keep everything moving behind the scenes. I know you're not simply looking for another Virtual Assistant. You are looking for someone who can protect your time, reduce decision fatigue, and make your workday feel less overwhelming. Here's how I can support you: ✈️ Executive Travel Planning & Itinerary Management I research and coordinate domestic and international business travel, book flights and accommodations, create detailed itineraries, and handle last-minute schedule changes to keep every trip running smoothly. I use trusted travel platforms such as Google Flights, Skyscanner, Booking, TripIt, and Google Maps, and I'm continually expanding my knowledge of Amadeus, Sabre, and Galileo for corporate travel management. 📅 Executive Calendar & Inbox Management From scheduling meetings across multiple time zones to preventing calendar conflicts and managing high-volume inboxes, I ensure your day stays organized so you can focus on strategic decisions instead of administrative details. 📋 Executive Administrative Support Whether it's preparing documents, coordinating meetings, conducting research, updating CRMs, or managing projects, I provide reliable behind-the-scenes support that keeps your operations running efficiently using tools like Google Workspace, Microsoft Office, Outlook, ClickUp, Asana, Notion, and HubSpot CRM. What you can expect when we work together: ✅ A proactive Executive Assistant who identifies problems before they become urgent. ✅ A dependable travel coordinator who pays attention to every detail so your business trips are stress-free. ✅ A calendar manager who protects your time and keeps your priorities on track. ✅ A professional partner who communicates clearly, follows through, and takes ownership of every task. Whether you need someone to coordinate executive travel, manage your calendar, organize your inbox, or keep your day running effortlessly, my goal is simple: If you're looking for a trusted partner who can bring order to your schedule and confidence to your travel plans, I would love to connect. 📩 Send me a message or invite me to your job. I respond within 0-4 hours.

Managing construction projects across multiple sites, contractors, and reporting lines is complex. I help construction companies, developers, and donor-funded organisations stay in control of that complexity, from baseline to closeout, without the overhead of a full-time hire. I am a PMP-certified Construction Project Manager with over nine years of experience delivering complex infrastructure programmes across East and Sub-Saharan Africa. I have managed multi-site portfolios worth up to USD 40M, led PMO setups from scratch across five countries, and produced board-level reporting for institutional clients including the Global Fund and the Ministry of Health. What I bring to your project: ✔ PMO Setup and Governance Frameworks built from scratch ✔ Construction Schedule Development and Recovery Planning (MS Project, Smartsheet, Primavera P6) ✔ Budget Monitoring, Cost Tracking, and Variance Reporting ✔ Risk Register Development and Management ✔ Contractor and Subcontractor Performance Management ✔ RFI and Submittal Review and Tracking ✔ Earned Value Management and Progress Reporting ✔ Executive Dashboards and Donor-Facing Reports (Power BI, Smartsheet) ✔ Commissioning, Handover, and Close-Out Management ✔ Quantity Takeoff, BOQ Preparation, and Bid Support ✔ Construction Estimating and Cost Planning Recent programme highlights: 85-facility healthcare infrastructure programme across 20 counties in Kenya, USD 8M+, Global Fund financing, owner-side PM and PMO governance across five concurrent contractor packages BSL-3 laboratory refurbishment at the National Public Health Laboratories, Nairobi, coordinating specialist suppliers from Kenya, Dubai, Switzerland, Thailand, and Japan Five-country industrial CAPEX programme, USD 15M+, Kenya, Tanzania, Nigeria, DRC, and Mozambique, PMO established from scratch, EVM tracking, multi-PM team management I am particularly strong in environments where governance systems do not yet exist, where multiple contractors need to be held accountable simultaneously, and where reporting needs to be clear, accurate, and decision-ready for senior audiences. If you need a construction PM who can hit the ground running, build the systems your project needs, and deliver without hand-holding, let us talk. Procore Certified Project Manager: I can manage your projects using industry-standard construction management software from day one. Whether you are already using Procore or considering implementation, I can set up project structures, coordinate RFIs and submittals, track daily logs, manage punch lists, and generate progress reports directly from the platform, giving you real-time visibility into every site without being physically present. I currently support Summit Industrial Flooring in the United States as a freelance estimating and bid coordination assistant, helping their team manage commercial flooring takeoffs and bid preparation using Salesforce, ProEst, and Conga. Core tools: Primavera P6, MS Project, Smartsheet, Procore, Bluebeam Revu, PlanSwift, Power BI, SAP ERP, Google Workspace, Microsoft 365. Contract frameworks: FIDIC, NEC, JBC. Specialisms: PMO setup, earned value management, BOQ preparation, quantity takeoff, construction scheduling, programme controls, donor reporting, contractor performance management, construction estimating, bid coordination.

If you're hiring a Virtual Assistant or Executive Assistant who actually runs operations, not just responds to them, keep reading. Inbox overload, double-booked calendars, missed follow-ups, and no time for the work that actually moves your business. This is exactly what executive and administrative support is supposed to solve and where most remote assistants fall short. I'm Faith, a Remote Executive Assistant and Virtual Assistant with 3+ years supporting CEOs, founders, and startup operators across law, coaching, food & beverage, and multi-business ventures. Here's what I've delivered: → 50+ projects managed with a 95% on-time delivery rate → 30% operational efficiency gains through workflow redesign and SOP documentation → 98% client satisfaction across industries and time zones I don't hand you a checklist. I build the administrative infrastructure around you then run it so your business stops depending on your memory and starts running on systems. Executive & Calendar Management Email management and inbox triage in your voice, zero-conflict scheduling, meeting prep, and travel coordination handled before you ask. Project & Operations Coordination Task management, deadline tracking, and cross-team follow-through. Nothing slips because I own the follow-through so you don't have to. SOP & Process Documentation I turn your recurring decisions into documented systems. Repeatable, delegatable, scalable. Client Onboarding & CRM Management First impressions protected, pipelines maintained, internet research and data entry handled with discretion and accuracy. Virtual Assistant & Administrative Support Document management, file organisation, expense tracking support, data entry, and day-to-day business operations support, the unsexy work that keeps everything running. Tools I work in daily: Google Workspace · Microsoft 365 · Notion · Asana · ClickUp · Monday . com · HubSpot · Calendly · Trello · Slack · Zoom · Loom · Zapier · Airtable · ChatGPT · Claude Ideal clients: Founders, startup operators, and CEOs who need a fractional EA or remote administrative assistant for ongoing business operations support — someone who thinks three steps ahead, communicates without being chased, and treats confidentiality as non-negotiable. If you've read this far, your inbox probably needs attention right now. Invite me to your job or send a message with what you're carrying. I'll respond with exactly how I'd approach it.
