I am currently seeking employment with a Reputable Construction firm!
Tough economic times have forced many of us in the construction industry to consider relocating, restructuring or simply changing professions. With over 25 yrs invested in construction it is not an option for me to change my vocation.
This is also an opportunity for a solid Construction company to acquire top level performers such as myself. My background is extensive and my (hands on) skills base is broad.
Please take a moment to review my attached resume and contact me if you feel there is a position available.
Thank you,
Don Barr
