Dear Sir or Madam:
I am a graduate of the University of Florida Building Construction program presently seeking work in the construction industry. Included is my resume for your review and consideration.
I would describe myself as an achiever / goal oriented person with the motivation required to get the job done. As you realize a written letter does little to illustrate the personality behind the person; I would like to opportunity to meet with you.
My last job was working for a large builder as a project engineer. I was instrumental in getting the project submittals processed / approved for an elementary school in Broward County.
I have also been a superintendent for a custom home builder in Palm Beach gardens, FL. I have worked on homes in the 1 to 8 million dollar range. I was able to keep a tight schedule and complete homes on time with minimal punch-out.
I have worked for a commercial builder in Jupiter, FL as a superintendent. I was in charge of building a twenty thousand square foot warehouse building in Hobe Sound. I have also worked on several retail commercial buildings in Jensen beach and Palm Beach Gardens.
I have also worked as an assistant to the vice president of operations for the nation’s largest fly ash producer. I traveled the South Eastern U.S. managing small construction projects. After one year in this position I was recognized for my performance and was promoted to Supervisor Mid Atlantic Region. My duties included the management of twelve employees and the operation of two fly ash handling facilities. I have worked closely with Duke Energy management to ensure efficient recycling of coal combustion by-products. I have reduced the maintenance costs at these locations by 7% through maintenance programs and budgeting. I had also worked as assistant project manager on a $three million dollar construction project located at my facility.
I believe I would be an asset to your company and would appreciate the opportunity to discuss a position with you. I can be reached at the above listed phone number.
Sincerely,
Thomas E. Buss
