I have proved myself an exceptional Construction Manager and Geologist by repeatedly overseeing all aspects of large-scale construction projects for both residential and commercial projects. Throughout a career with industry-leading construction firms, engineering companies, and city government, I have demonstrated an ability to control costs while ensuring quality in alignment with strict industry standards — my focus has always been on proactively evaluating plans and working with site personnel to prevent problems before they happen. Additionally, I have a proven record of recommending innovative solutions that significantly reduce costs and build client trust. With a broad skill set and a demonstrated history of achievement, I am confident in my ability to generate superior results for your organization.
My roles in the past ranged from Supervisory Technician and Construction Inspector to Construction Manager. A sample of my achievements while serving in the above and additional positions includes:
• Project managing construction of a state-of-the-art, $24 million water treatment facility, overseeing all aspects of construction from the ground up to ensure drinking water met state health requirements.
• Consistently saving time and money by reviewing sites and identifying conflicts with the plans before construction started, preventing problems such as missing utility stubs, missing driveways, misplaced driveways, and missing curbs that would have cost thousands to remediate after construction.
• Successfully supervising the construction of hundreds of millions of dollars of development, regularly completing projects 5-10% under budget.
I have a passion for upholding the highest levels of quality and a talent for working with people that makes me perfectly suited for your open position. After reading the above brief summary and attached resume, I know you will agree that my background, skills, and experience exactly meet your qualification.
