My name is Anthony Marques and I am enclosing my resume for your review, and consideration. I am currently seeking an opportunity as a Project Manager with an established construction company in the heavy highway industry. I have a vast construction background spanning over 24 years. I was at Lisbon Contractors in a senior management role for over twenty years. Lisbon was engaged in the heavy highway industry performing on contracts involving; small and large diameter sanitary sewer pipeline, water main, earth work, cast-in-place culverts, pump stations, treatment plants, single span bridges, and road reconstruction. During that span Lisbon completed contracts in; Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, and Virginia. My responsibilities included; estimating, purchasing, contract negotiation, scheduling of resources, managing scope changes, field teams, government agencies, and overall budget responsibility.
During the past three and a half years I was a Land Development Manager for a large public homebuilder, K. Hovnanian Homes. My responsibilities included; entitlements, permits, approvals, budgeting, bid & buyout, contracting with field trades and professional consultants, maintaining collaborative relationships with local and state agencies, and delivering quarterly cost to complete analyses over multiple sites to senior executives.
I am looking for opportunities in the heavy highway industry where my skills, experience, and leadership qualities can provide added strength to your organization. I am a self motivated individual who has a clear understanding of what it takes to perform in this competitive and fast paced industry. I am a problem solver with the ability to manage multiple projects and deliver them within the constraints of scope, time, and budget. In addition, I have trained in the PMBoK (Project Management Body of Knowledge) guidelines as prescribed by the Project Management Institute. This training provides new methodologies, tools and techniques that provide me with improved skills to manage projects.
Upon your review, I would appreciate the opportunity to meet, and discuss with you in further detail my construction management experience, and to explore possible opportunities which may be of a benefit for your organization. I thank you for your time, and hope to speak with you soon.
