At a prestigious 30,000 sq. ft.

Hello,

To be completely transparent and concise, I am a problem solver. When a challenge is presented to me, I have the natural ability to prioritize, set goals, communicate clearly, and devise a timeline to successfully and efficiently achieve a desired outcome.

Additionally, I am very confident in my broad skillset and trusted by upper management to find solutions without their frequent input. Simply stated, my employers depend on me to take away pain points related to projects and facilities management. If collaborative decisions are imperative, I exercise my project management acumen to present multiple options for consideration to find a convenient and successful solution for my employer.

Through my career I have consistently sought opportunities to drive efficiency, sustainability and reduce cost in facilities and project management. Most notably, while working as a Facilities Director at StrongMind, Primavera Online School and FlipSwitch Marketing, I was able to cut monthly expense by eliminating ongoing monthly rental fees, i.e., ice machines, reverse osmosis systems, printer service, coffee vendor, supplies and general medium. Furthermore, during my time at the companies noted above, I successfully managed and oversaw the renovation of three office buildings, ensuring they met the needs of each of the entities, from space planning to department layout and the appropriate FF&E.

I bring a blend of creative vision and pragmatic problem-solving that can contribute to any company's innovation and existence. My expertise is in leveraging maintenance scheduling with a forward thinking approach.

I am eager to contribute my passion for efficiency and look forward to the opportunity to further discuss how my skills and experience can benefit your organization.

Regards,

Jim Sterling
