I am having very good experience in handling all the Technical, Subcontractor and Vendor documents and to assign the document number for them. In my previous project; I have handled more than 25 thousand documents (with all revisions) and handled more than 13000 letters (Correspondence). I can simply understand that whom should I distribute the document as per discipline. I am having self-correspondence ability. I am self-motivated and I take initiative. I am able to take the note of the meeting and to prepare the Minutes of Meeting. I am capable to work individually and as a team member.

I have worked in several projects from the very first day to the hand-over of the project, hence I know how to set-up the filing and document control system and to handover the Project to the Client, once the project is completed. As a Senior Document Controller, it is my responsibility to take care / save all documents and to provide to the staff / management; once it is required and to provide the list / summary of the documents / letters to the Team. 

I am having 6 years’ experience as Aconex Administrator and know how to use Aconex at its best way. Being a Senior Document Controller and Aconex Administrator; I used to conduct Aconex training and to create Aconex Account for the staff, Subcontractors, Consultants and Suppliers etc.  I used to update the metadata in Aconex; I used to configure the metadata, forms and signature in Aconex and used to export the documents / mail from Aconex to MS Excel (to prepare the report). You can expect anything from me regarding Aconex and in relation with the Document Controlling work. I am able to establish the Filing System from my own way or as per the Company’s Project Quality Plan. I am able to keep the transparency as well as the confidentiality of the documents (as per the Company’s policy). I have even worked as Document Control Manager for one of my previous projects (MASDAR Pile Caps and Foundation Works, Masdar City, Abu Dhabi), where I supervised 3 Document Controllers. 

I am having very good experience in preparing the drawing and document register through Aconex (by exporting the documents in excel sheet) I am very good in multiple files uploading and downloading. Apart from operating Aconex, I have very good experience in operating Claromentis, Build-online, Primavera Contract Management, Project Wise and Focus, AFU, E-DOC, E-Correspondence.
