Dear Sir or Madam,
I am a professional estimator experienced in directing projects and staff in fast paced, results-oriented environments with a background in technical field operations. I have 8 years of experience specializing in heavy hardscape and multi-site flooring projects for commercial, residential, and mixed use development.
My specialty is in estimating materials and labor for construction projects. I have been responsible for estimating and calculating quantity take-offs, building detailed estimates and proposals, reviewing and meeting specification and change orders, placing vendor material price requests, supervising field operations, resolving problems, and overseeing inspections. I successfully meet project timelines, budgets, and quality control objectives. I have utilized my excellent organizational and communication skills to effectively develop cooperative working relationships with customers, personnel, general contractors, vendors, and corporate management.
As you can see, I have great experience in the office area as a whole and I am willing to pursue new challenges and excel in my skills. I would like to highlight my experience working with electronic blueprints on a regular basis including downloading, reading, scanning and printing.
I am confident I can make a valuable contribution to your organization and would welcome the opportunity to demonstrate my expertise and help your company continue to grow and be profitable.
Enclosed is my resume. I welcome the opportunity to meet and further to discuss my qualifications with you.
Sincerely,
Steven Hudson
