Years of experience: 1

As a project manager in woodworking company, I’ve managed projects of starting production lines of picture frames, brush handles, bed struts manufacturing and others. The company can be considered as a balanced matrix organisation, so in project manager role I’ve been working closely with the functional managers, production itself, outsourced suppliers and of course customers or potential customers. 
I’ve made WBS, assigned tasks, made estimations, planned budget and managed risks and then tracked performance on each stage.
All the projects have become constantly running and profitable production lines, and were launched by the target date and within planned budget.
For the last almost 10 years, I’m working in a woodworking production company as a sales and procurement manager.
As a sales manager I lead the whole process from the first contact with a customer to the final delivery of the goods. 95% of our customers are from Europe.
In procurement manager’s role, I’m dealing with suppliers all over the world (Europe, USA, China), plan supply chains, make agreements and sign contracts, negotiate terms and prices.
For the last 4 years despite performing sales and purchase tasks, I’m involved in almost all the aspects of company’s life, including managing the projects of starting new production lines from the initiation stage till the constantly running manufacture.
My responsibilities as a project manager included
gathering customers’ requirements, investigating the market, indicating and ordering the needed machinery and materials, planning the internal activities for installing the equipment, making budgets and schedules for the projects and tracking the performance on each stage.
I’m dealing with customers, suppliers and production team on daily basis. The communication is mostly in English.
I feel myself really comfortable in a project manager role and would like to move in that direction. 
By now I’ve passed more than 10 online courses in project management and it’s implementation in IT field.
I’m not going to stop and continue to improve my knowledges. And I believe the best way is to combine them with practice.
I’m quite hard working and result oriented person, therefore I’m sure that I can fill in the gaps in experience in IT really quickly and bring a great contribution to your company.
