My most recent experience is with Chicago Architectural Metals as the Project Engineer and Estimator. I have decided to pursue opportunities at a larger firm.
Having worked with large contractors for 16 years prior to this I would be able to assist you in a wide range of capacities and with a variety of materials. Please note, as my attached resume outlines I have experience in most aspects of construction; structural concrete and metal, electrical, plumbing and finishing, mechanical repair, installation and Assembly. Regarding estimating skills, I am fast and quite thorough in take off. I've won 27 new project bids for Chicago Architectural Metals in one year
It would be great if you could check out what openings or needs you may have and let me know. I'm flexible as to the position. I want to add that since I've worked on projects in several countries I'm able to advise on alternative materials which should be more cost effective. Fluency in additional languages, Portuguese and Spanish may be useful for field work.
Thank you for your consideration. You can contact me at home, 773-275-4703, email is norivaldo14[at]yahoo.com
Sincerely,
Norivaldo De Souza
