Bonsall,CA
Summary
Motivated Project Manager looking to join a team environment again, this time in an estimating position. Proven consistency and dedication, having reached the point with my previous employers where I was managing projects with a combined value of over twenty million annually. I am comfortable with W.I.P. reporting to the executive team, and tracking both the positive and negative margin impacts to a project to help accurately represent the variance, and ensure increased profitability for future work. In general I have a strong respect for the field crews and their capability, and understand their importance towards the success of the project.
Having been fortunate enough to purchase a home in the Bonsall area this past year, I am looking to establish some stronger roots and become a part of the local community again. Currently looking for a company such as yourselves to continue both the growth of my career and personal well-being, and I appreciate the consideration regardless.
I am happy to provide any additional references to previous department leads, ownership, and projects in general upon request.
