It is within your organization that I desire to offer nearly 8 years of combined experience in both the residential and commercial construction field here in the Northern Virginia area. While maintaining a high level of knowledge and expertise in managing construction projects ranging from home building to high-end commercial tenant fit-outs, my experience in this industry created many opportunities for me to maintain impeccable client relationships and create many new leads for my past employers. I firmly believe that my construction knowledge and current established relationships throughout the construction industry would serve your firm well to create a dynamic relationship with profitable results.
Having natural interpersonal and communication abilities, I have acquired a solid reputation for effective networking and strategic alliance building among crucial industry resources including architects, engineers, clients such as The Walsh Company, Brandywine Realty & Trust, The Tower Companies and great relationships with the many subcontractors I maintain contact with including Natelco Electric, Duffy Mechanical, TMC Electric to name a few. I am consistently energized by opportunities in overcoming challenges met forth in many projects I have completed in the past, under budget and on time which have continually resulted in great client relationships and expectations.
As there is considerable more to relate, I look forward to the opportunity to meeting or discussing how I might be able to assist your firm in continued growth and vision of your company.
Sincerely,
Ken Foster
