To Whom It May Concern:
I have five years of extensive and diverse professional experience in the construction industry at the position of Project Manager (and Superintendant when needed) for a residential contractor. Though, primarily dealing with high-end custom home construction, from remodel to ground-up; I have extensive commercial interiors experience, recently completing 8 months contracted work for the CHASE/WaMu conversion. Have up to date working knowledge of government and private body regulations. Proven ability to supervise and manage large and small groups of employees. I successfully kept accurate records for the duration of my employ, even delving into water forensics in helping a Brentwood client to successfully recoup damages by a ‘negligent’ developer to his multimillion dollar home. Successfully created and implemented job calendars. I have experience in project estimation, trade and employee scheduling, material procurement and project budgeting. Read and understand technical plans. I have resolved issues with trades from technical and legal concerns.
I believe that this combination of knowledge and experience can be very useful for this company. I would like the opportunity to tell you more about my work experience and how my skill sets and passion, for all that is construction and design, could contribute to the successful day-to-day running and further growth of your company. I would be happy to supply strong references at your request.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
James McDugle
