Nicole
Project Administrator
Nicole fulfills the role of Project Administrator on our Glenellen project extremely well, as well as the person responsible for on-site logistics management which she takes in her stride, despite having limited experience. She has quickly become the ‘go-to’ expert on delivery schedules and materials, managing up to 28 trucks a day with smooth co-ordination between drivers and site supervisors. With a proactive mindset, Nicole identifies gaps in driver support and traffic management and has stepped up without hesitation—eventually taking full ownership of logistics and deliveries. Her flexibility in managing delays, her deepening knowledge of materials, and her ability to maintain timely, efficient operations have been instrumental to the project’s success. Highly approachable and well-respected, Nicole is known by name to everyone on site—from drivers to clients at the front gate. She has built strong working relationships and become a critical link in the delivery chain and to our project. Taking on this role entirely on her own initiative, Nicole has turned a challenge into a remarkable achievement—all while working in solar and logistics for the first time. Congratulations Nicole!
