Project Management Co-op – Merit Kitchens
This summer, I had the opportunity to work as a Project Management Intern at Merit Kitchens in Surrey, BC, for my second co-op work term. The primary focus of my role was to evaluate and streamline the company’s Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) across all key business functions.
By conducting data collection, analysis, and process investigation, I was able to identify pain points and recommend improvements. I presented a comprehensive proposal to senior management outlining a centralized, accessible repository for SOPs, supported by market research to recommend the most suitable technological solutions.
This position provided valuable cross-functional experience and allowed me to lead an initiative that had a tangible impact on the organization. I also developed strong analytical and documentation skills, learning how to systematically assess business processes and communicate findings effectively. Collaborating with team members across departments further helped me strengthen my interpersonal and communication abilities.
