To Whom This May Concern:

Please find attached a copy of my Resume for your review and consideration.

I am a construction professional with extensive experience in all phases of the industry. My experience span several fields and functions starting in the auto industry dealing with expansions and shut downs with its rigorous requirement for timely completion and substantial labour load, as well as several Hospitals, Airports, Infrastructure Installations, Pipe Lines, Hydro Projects, Mine Projects & Co-Gen Projects, to list a few.

In the past 10 years, I have dedicated my career towards corporate functions, all while remaining closely involved in project organization from start to finish with detailed involvement in the field, corporate, financial and legal aspect of the projects.

My strong leadership, communication skills, a high level of organisational skills, combined with a natural aptitude to build on my broad industry experience, and effective conflict resolution skills, provide me with the ability to consistently complete projects on time and within budget, and to motivate teams to achieve maximal efficiency, all of which have been invaluable to both my employer and client.

I pride myself on being self-motivated, hardworking, dedicated to my work, and capable of dealing with jobs under pressure.

I am looking for a role to apply my extensive experience and capabilities to advance the best interest of my employer and challenge me in a positive way.

Thanking you for your time and consideration and looking forward for the opportunity to meeting with you to further discuss my qualifications and your needs.

Regards

Colin Gordon
