Manager/Human Resources
Striving to expand and improve my engineering knowledge I am currently enrolled in the Applied Sciences curriculum at Macomb Community College working on my degree in Construction Technologies and Management. While I am continuing my education I want to gain additional experience in Facilities Engineering and Management, so I am sending my resume for review to be considered for a position in a Facilities Engineering department.
My background and experience started at Holy Cross Hospital in the Facilities department while I was working on my Bachelors degree. At Holy Cross Hospital my training covered organizing and prioritizing assignments for the installation and general repair of building systems, blue print reading, renovation processes; as well as Preventative Maintenance and Facilities Safety procedures.
I would like an opportunity to discuss how my background as a Program Manager and Product Development Engineer in the Automotive Industry, my current endeavor in attaining a degree from Macomb will illustrate how this transition will qualify me for a position in a Facilities/Operations department. To contact me to set up an appointment for an interview please call me at (313) 258-2968 or e-mail me at pjstepans[at]yahoo.com at your convenience.
Thank you for your time,
Paul Stepanski
