Dear Personnel Director:
I have successfully managed major infrastructure construction projects. Overall, my success comes from the ability to translate client objectives into tactical actions, while improving the execution of project milestones and ultimately, outperforming goals. I believe the combination of my leadership and project management experience offers me the unique opportunity to make a positive contribution to your organization. My skills and experience include the following:
• Extensive background in project management from contract interpretation to post-construction management for a wide range of commercial and government construction projects.
• Expertise in the health, education, commercial and justice sectors.
• Exceptional relationship-building, leadership, communication and presentation skills.
Although the accompanying resume illustrates my strengths well, I am certain of my ability to make a significant contribution early on and that a personal interview would better demonstrate how I could meet the needs of your company. I look forward to the opportunity of discussing in person how my expertise could best fit your needs. In the interim, thank you for your consideration, attention and forthcoming response.
Sincerely,
Christopher W. Eggen
