Sundt Construction 2/27/2010 Attention: Human Resources Project Engineer to assist PM
Your ad on Sundt’s web site for Project Engineer is of special interest to me because it calls for qualifications which match my background and skills. Your need for a top performing Manager and my 15 years of successful experience in a professional construction environment and +10 years in Operations as the Director of Facilities in two prison environments will allow me to hit the ground running and bring operational efficiency to this position. I was a Chicago journeyman ironworker for 15 years and during that time, I worked on nuclear power stations, refineries, petro-chemical facilities, and pre-engineered metal buildings. I also have a university bachelor degree in Management. I am definitely interested in and highly qualified for this employment opportunity.
You will note from my enclosed resume that I have expertise in all phases of project management from the initial contract award, detailing of contract documents for fabrication purposes, purchasing & delivery of materials, fabrication with subsequent delivery for erection within assigned timelines and within budget. All communications will be documented with written RFIs to clarify accurately what has been designed or what has been changed. As the Project Manager for steel fabricators / erectors for over 15 years & the Director of Facilities in two maximum security prisons for 11 years with responsibilities in daily operation in maintenance and new construction, I have the construction background to know, to learn, and to speak with integrity and authority to the retail suppliers, architects & engineers, general contractors, as well as to the Owners.
Understanding that the construction business is not an 8 to 5 job, I know it is going to be challenging. I am going to work as hard as I can to learn as much as I can about the process and to work on your team to bring operational efficiency to this position.
I look forward to the opportunity to meet with you to further discuss how my skills will benefit your organization. I thank you for taking time to consider my qualifications.
Respectfully submitted,
