Ron Rawls

College Station

Summary

An experienced manager with strong skills in financial management, mathematics, cross-cultural relations, and construction, I seek a full-time Assistant Project Manager position in the construction industry. I worked my way through college in sales, hotel management, and construction, and am not afraid of physical labor and long, irregular hours. I speak some Arabic and have traveled independently to the Middle East, Asia, Europe, Africa and Latin America. I believe in well-done, on-time delivery of promised output, and am highly capable as a team member, team leader, or in independent self-directed endeavor. My career so far has been focused on Mission Critical and Data Centers but open to all sectors of construction.
