Dear Hiring Manager:
I am currently seeking a challenging position with your company utilizing my project management, sales, and construction skills. I am enthusiastic about opportunities for professional growth, and am confident I would be an asset to your staff.
I have a strong construction background which allows me to quickly become familiar with an organization and its business practices. I have worked for several major builders in the construction industry as Construction Manager, Project Manager, Project Director, and served as Area President for Kimball Hill Homes in Austin, Texas. Most recently I was the Managing Partner at PJ Homes, LLC. I have managed and coordinated the daily activities relating to home construction ranging for single family, multi-family and town homes, while adhering to construction quality standards, community construction schedules and requirements, and closing objectives. I have formulated, facilitated and provided instruction in all aspects of construction including city approvals, land procurement, development, sales training and management. My experience also includes interaction and participation with the Board of Directors, Senior Management, contractors, vendors, and sales consultants. I can bring this level of expertise to your organization.
Some of my personal qualities include dedication to quality work, dependability, a strong work ethic, attention to detail, and excellent organizational and time management skills. I am also a self-motivated individual with the ability to exceed goals and objectives in fast paced environments. In addition, I have always acted in a professional and confidential manner.
I look forward to hearing from you in the near future.
Yours sincerely,
Joseph Houston
