My name is Zachary Williamson and I am currently a Site Manager in Orlando. I have had extensive construction experience and training, from managing and estimating entire subdivisions to large commercial, big box, and multifamily sites as well as banking, schools, and facilities construction. Due to a recent job discontinuation I am in the job market seeking the right opportunity.
Very early in my career in construction, I noticed that there are two types of Construction Managers: the kind that get results under ideal conditions, and the kind that gets results under any condition.
Just as early, I made a decision that I wanted to be in the second category. To that end, I’ve made it my business to learn from as many of the result-getting mentors as I could identify, while working as a contractor, an Associate Construction Manager and as a Project Manager myself.
The lessons that I have learned is that the secrets to obtaining results that surpass the clients expectations are actually quite simple: Communication, planning, and execution.
As a result, I have made these three actions my guides for every project I manage. Complete and clear communication with the client, engineers and crew mean that everyone --- starting with myself --- is aware of what needs to be done.
Once the goal is determined, the next step is to plan. Unlike many Project Managers that want to start acting as soon as possible, I’ve learned that for every hour of planning turns out saving two hours of improvising, or worse yet, fixing later.
Lastly, I make it a point to execute the plan, as efficiently and completely as possible, providing all participants with the resources they need to complete their duties while holding them responsible.
I’d like to tell you more about this experience and more examples of how I can bring my Project Manager’s skills to your company. Please call or e-mail to meet you at your convenience.
