Colorado Springs,CO

Summary

I am thrilled to be applying for this position. In my 15 years of construction history I have picked up skills such as Blueprint reading, project scheduling using Microsoft Projects and Excel, marking up drawings using Bluebeam, performing daily logs on ProCore, driving a thorough safety plan, holding weekly progress meetings and sending out progress reports. I started my career as a finish carpenter and still enjoy building cabinets in my woodshop. I have worked with my hands on just about every trade at some point. I have a true passion for wanting to build something great, whether that is a beautiful skyscraper or building relationships with those around me. I love to do things as a team and build others up around me. I have a drive for success and I truly believe I would be an asset to your company.


Thank you.
