It is with great enthusiasm that I have come across this potential opportunity for consideration of employment with your organization due to the fact my experience and qualifications meet that of your opening.  I am confident you will find my capabilities and experience with past employers complimentary to those career objectives sought for this open requisition.

Please find my resume for consideration of employment in your organization. My ability to design and orchestrate complex projects are evident of the significant people and projects I have been in charge of while employed with Fluor and CH2MHILL from conception through construction.

My career experiences and successful relationships with employers and clients consist of more than 15 years in the professional field of engineering and construction (AEC) serving capacities of project management, planning, programming, building and site design, interior design, engineering, and construction support services traveling domestically and internationally for small and large complex projects in various industries for global Fortune 500 companies and local established A&E firms in the US.

As a representative for you, I will tap my great depth of experience in multi tasking and effective organizational habits and apply them to your projects. For example, while employed at Fluor I was awarded the “Above and Beyond Award” for exceeding performance in CM /CA of a nationwide , multi- office, multi- project consisting of in house engineering and construction support services over 14 US cities.

For a two year period I supported the Fluor Vice President and the business sector directors in business development activities, preparing proposals, RFP and RFQ responses and compliance, as well as supporting engineering bidding estimates.

I’m extensively knowledgeable of the design and construction field. I can mentor staff and manage staff daily by means of delegation of appropriate staff utilization of capabilities and skills/hierarchy, or redlining and clear concise or simple directions. I feel I have a fine command of the English language both in reading, comprehension and writing and produced AutoCAD production drawing back at Fluor in 2012.

 

I look forward to hearing from you.
