I was location manager for both projects and was part of the event from planning through to delivery. Working on the Special Olympics I was the lead contact for staffing and production at Zayed Sports City but I also supported the teams at the other sites. I was part of the planning and recruitment of over 1000 staff and when the event was live I was the lead contact who led and managed the busiest venue for the event, My role was diverse as I not only worked with the ground staff but I also supported the production and technical team, I had a constant overview of what was happening on-site and facilitated all staff and contractor movement.
