Dear Sir/Madam,
After contributing to the growth and success of three different construction organizations in the past 18 years, I am seeking new challenges in Houston with a company in need of someone with exceptional planning, leadership, and management abilities. Taking command of an operation or project, then guiding it to completion, is my greatest strength.
As evidenced in the enclosed resume my experience encompasses project management, strategic planning, and resource utilization. My ability to analyze needs and create unique solutions in both project planning and construction methods has proven to be one of my greatest assets. I am detail oriented and very organized. Proactive management of all site activities has allowed me to create efficient and timely building schedules.
I know that my proven leadership skills, strong commitment to high ethical and professional standards, and flexibility in responding to changing conditions would allow me to make a significant contribution to your company I would welcome the chance to discuss my qualifications with you in greater detail. If you wish to schedule a meeting, please let me know. In the meantime, please know that I appreciate your time and consideration.
Sincerely Yours,
Ron Gross
