Introduction
The following strengths exhibit that I am highly skilled and talented in diversified projects:
• Estimating costs in relation to manpower, equipment and materials.
• Preparing bid packages and proposals.
• Bid clarification and interpretation; writing/developing scope of work and construction-related specifications including critical path scheduling.
• Supervising commercial construction projects – estimating, computerized estimating, project management and equipment management.
• Assessing project needs, hiring, training, and scheduling personnel. Scheduling contractors, and equipment to ensure maximum efficiency. Keeping current with changing codes, building procedures and products.
• Monitoring work progress and OSHA rules to ensure safe quality work.
• Ensuring compliance with blueprints and specifications.
• Developing and maintaining good customer relations.
By keeping an open mind and working with a team that has efficient management abilities, I will ensure that all tasks are carried out per schedule with cost and quality in mind. I have successfully estimated and managed complex and challenging million dollar projects with expert efficiency and quality. My expertise in project cost estimation, negotiations for projects at various levels, up to date knowledge of government and private body regulations have refined my skills in construction management.
I am exploring opportunities with established industry leaders like you and your company. I believe that I "own" the projects I manage from the original estimate to the final close out. I am able to utilize and execute AIA documents, compose and process RFI's as needed, generate the Critical Path Method construction schedule and review submittals. I accomplished the range of projects included in this resume by due diligence and consistent management practice.
I am looking for the opportunity to join a company that will match my ambitions and allow me to grow professionally while effectively increasing volume and revenue for it. My business, construction, and sales backgrounds enable me to assess each situation and move forward appropriately in the best interest of the company. I look forward to meeting with you at your earliest opportunity to discuss the many benefits I can add to your company.
Thank you,
Don Parker
