Sharon Barreras has been named as a Professional of the Year in her field
CHARLOTTE, NC, October 26, 2011 /Management PR News/ -- Sharon Y. Barreras, Senior Vice President of Operations for Parson Commercial and Technology Global Business Unit of Parsons Corporation, has been named a Cambridge Who's Who Professional of the Year in Business Operations Management. While inclusion in the Cambridge Who's Who Registry is an honor, only a small selection of members in each discipline are chosen for this distinction. These special honorees are distinguished based on their professional accomplishments, academic achievements, leadership abilities, years of service, and the credentials they have provided in association with their Cambridge Who's Who membership.
As a senior vice president of operations at the Parsons Corporation, Ms. Barreras reports to the Group President and is responsible for the effective operation of the company's business including: ensuring that adequate competent management is managing the unit's projects and these projects are being effectively managed; that adequate estimates are made for the unit's work, that standards and procedures are developed and maintained for the proper execution of the unit's business and that adequate reporting and controls are maintained. The Operations Director manages and is responsible for the Engineering, Project Controls, Contracts, Procurement, Safety, Quality Assurance, Information Systems and Facilities aspects of the unit's business. The Operations Director works closely with the Division Managers, Department Managers, other Parsons GBU Operations Directors and Corporate Operations Staff to ensure the smooth execution of the company's business.
The Operations Director has the authority to review and assess the performance of any of the business unit's operations or projects and ensure the implementation of corrective actions as required and may represent the President or EVP Global BD with his or her full authority and responsibility.
Ms. Barreras GBU manages all commercial projects for Parsons in the environmental and infrastructure markets, handling design services for vertical and horizontal buildings, design and construction of nuclear commercial and renewable energy projects, and managing communications and industrial services. She attributes her success to her hard work and ability to stimulate new business for her company. She became involved in her profession through the influence of her sister, Mrs. Iris Y. Fisher, a high school counselor, who encouraged her to go to a technical school because she loved mathematics, physics and chemistry. Ms. Barreras received a Bachelor of Engineering Technology degree in mechanical engineering from The University of North Carolina at Charlotte, and became a Registered Professional Engineer.
Parsons sponsored Ms. Barreras to attend the Executive Program at the Darden School of Business of the University of Virginia in preparation for a Parsons executive position. She is a member of Professional Engineers of North Carolina. Ms. Barreras received the Parsons President Award for outstanding project management for a communication project for infrastructure design and construction services. The highlight of her career was managing the environmental restoration program at the Idaho National Laboratory. During this time, Parsons was a member of the Lockheed Martin team, and it was her greatest pleasure to work and have as a mentor the president of Lockheed Martin Idaho Technologies Company, Mr. John Denson.
The next step in Ms. Barreras' career and what she is working toward is a corporate position in Operations.
The Parsons Corporation is an engineering and construction firm that provides architectural, engineering, construction management and project management services.
