Green Operations Coordinator

• Jan 2023 - Present

About the organisation: A non-profit organisation that provides resources and solutions to help immigrants integrate into the Norwegian society.Role:In this role, my responsibilities include integrating sustainability into Inter-Nationals' project management processes to support the rollout of projects by the organisation. Non-profit organisations barely incorporate full sustainability principles into their activities. The idea that non-profit organisations have no profit motives and focus on caring for the marginalised and vulnerable in society mostly blurs the environmental commitment required of such organisations which is also a key component in sustainability. Consequently, my tasks revolve around filling this gap at Inter-Nationals.Achievements:• Reviewed custom-made project management processes that I initially developed for the organisation to identifyopportunities for integrating sustainability considerations. The review involved analysing project selection criteria, risk assessment processes, and project monitoring and evaluation procedures.• Developed sustainability criteria for screening our projects. These criteria include considerations such as environmental impact, social impact, and economic viability. The criteria have been applied to two projects so far and we have saved some tons of waste generated by those projects (including but not limited to using electronic materials rather than paper and requesting waste disposal reports from our project partners, especially venue owners).• Provided sustainability training for two staff. The training was about sustainability principles and practices and the criteria that I developed for integrating sustainability considerations into the organisation’s projects. Show less

Operations Support

• Jun 2021 - Dec 2022

Role:In this role, my responsibilities included developing and implementing the right processes and practices to support the rollout of programmes and projects by the organisation.Achievements• Developed custom-made project management plan templates organised according to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK) process group to manage projects. The effects of these plans have now minimised key probable uncertainties like overspending and time lag that could affect the organisation’s projects.• Coordinated one (1) workshop project dubbed ‘Diversity and Inclusion for Start-ups in Fredrikstad – Norway’. While the project successfully collaborated with stakeholders including the Fredrikstad Municipal office and a private consultancy firm called Human Effect AS, activities outlined as part of the project were also carried out on time and within the allocated budget.• Authored a ten (10) page script document for the organisation’s yet-to-be-recorded maiden podcast project dubbed ‘Every Kroner Matters’. The development of the script entailed conducting relevant research and providing appropriate critical questions and hints relevant for discussion. It is envisaged that the development of the script would save the organisation a great amount of editing time after recording, and also help save the would-be host if he/she ever loses their train of thought or run out of things to say during the recording session.• Revised the concept note for one project titled ‘The Intrapreneurship Lab’. The concept note was revised because of new concerns levelled out by external stakeholders after a series of consultations in the planning phase of the project. Show less
