Sherif R.
Project Manager | Operations & PMO
PMP-certified Project Manager and Operations Manager with 13+ years of international experience across project management, PMO, operations, engineering, manufacturing, capital projects, and process improvement in the US, Canada, Saudi Arabia, UAE, and Egypt. I help companies plan and execute projects, improve operational processes, establish practical PMO systems, coordinate cross-functional teams, and bring complex or delayed projects back on track. Most teams don't have a tool problem. They have an execution problem. Projects slow down, ownership becomes unclear, priorities compete, and management spends too much time chasing updates. I bring structure, accountability, and visibility without overcomplicating the way teams work. How I can help 📊 Project Management & PMO • Project planning and execution • Project schedules, milestones and dependencies • Project recovery and turnaround • Risk, issue and change management • Stakeholder and cross-functional management • Project reporting and performance tracking • PMO processes and project governance ⚙️ Operations & Process Improvement • Process mapping and workflow design • SOP development and implementation • KPI and performance tracking • Operational improvement • Workflow optimization and accountability systems • Turning manual or unclear processes into structured workflows 🏭 Engineering & Manufacturing • Capital projects and plant projects • Manufacturing operations • Engineering coordination • Utilities and infrastructure projects • Vendor and contractor management • Procurement and project decision support • Food & beverage manufacturing environments 🧰 Project Management Tools • Jira • ClickUp • Notion • Microsoft 365 • Google Workspace • Project dashboards, trackers and reporting systems What you can expect ✔ Clear ownership and accountability ✔ Practical project management systems ✔ Better visibility into risks, priorities and deadlines ✔ Structured reporting and follow-up ✔ Fewer execution bottlenecks and delays ✔ Processes that teams can actually follow I work particularly well with companies that need an experienced PM for a defined project, part-time engagement, project recovery, PMO setup, or specific operational challenge rather than a full-time administrative resource. If your project or operation needs more structure, better visibility, or stronger execution, I can help you build a practical system and keep it moving.
