Available to travel and temporarily relocate, but would prefer to remain in the Phoenix-metro area
I have a great interest in working for your company as a Project Manager.
I am a 2003 graduate of the Del E. Webb School of Construction at Arizona State University with a Bachelors of Science degree in Construction Management. Upon graduating from college, I became a full-time employee of Wespac Construction, Inc. of Phoenix, AZ. At Wespac Construction, I was an Assistant Estimator, Project Engineer/Assistant Project Manager, and was promoted last year to Project Manager.
I believe my previous experience, training, and skills, such as my LEED Accreditation, qualify me for consideration for a Project Manager position.
I look forward to discussing my qualifications in more detail.
Thank you,
Chris Harris
