This letter is to express my interest in bringing my years of experience in Construction Management to your attention in consideration of an employment opportunity with your organization. In todays ever-changing market where quality of workmanship, commitment to contracted terms, and superior labor management skills are vital to stay competitive, it is imperative to hire competent personnel with a demonstrated record of achievement. I believe my qualifications are what you are seeking and I am eager to extend my expertise and ambition to your company.
With three decades of direct project management, sales, and job-site leadership, I have vast knowledge in directing full-cycle construction projects involving various disciplines and work crews. In addition, as part of the Navy Seabee unit for several years, I experienced construction work often under extreme conditions of weather, disaster, and wartime security. I have the ability to adapt to and overcome different situational challenges that others may see as roadblocks, and work with teams and crewmembers of various levels of training. I also have experience getting in front of VPs, Sales Managers, and Designers, to work with plans, determine costs, and evaluate project feasibility.
In full-cycle project management, the dedicated goal is to bring projects in within budget, focus attention to quality workmanship and customer satisfaction, and monitor scheduled timelines to realistic projections. I am able to effectively communicate project status to owners and developers, identify and remedy potential areas of concern, and maintain overall productivity and support throughout the cycles.
In closing, you will find that my reputation for organizing projects and working with varied disciplines of engineering and construction teams, is well respected. I am performance-oriented professional, possess extraordinary team building and interpersonal skills, and I am confident in my abilities to lead projects to successful completion. I take the time to acknowledge and communicate objectives, which in turn, leads to a well informed, positive, and higher producing project agenda.
Though my rsum is quite informative, it cannot fully profile the manner in which I have been successful my personality and desire to contribute. This can only be accomplished in a face-to-face meeting where we can exchange information and examine whether there might be an employment opportunity that is of mutual interest. I welcome the opportunity of an interview, if you feel, as I do, that I would be a contributing asset to your team to fill any immediate or anticipated position. I look forward to speaking with you soon.
Sincerely,
Mark Van Tassel
