HR Manager,

I have seen your advertisement for the job of Advisor, Civil Engineering in your establishment and would like to apply for the position.

I am an experienced Project Manager with over 20 years’ experience in highway and other commercial (construction) infrastructural engineering projects, funded by world banks and other international funding agencies. I was next in charge of the company in my last employment and was successful in transforming that company from revenues in millions of dollars to over 5 billion dollars’ worth of revenues by employing proficiency in the use of MS. Project, motivational and other acquired organisational skills. I had all technical and managerial oversight and was committed to cost effective management of resources and quality performances

Due to my enormous years of experience, I have acquired a high degree of knowledge that helps to create strategic alliances with Government Ministries and Agencies, Community based organisations, private sector groups to effectively align with key business initiatives.

I am highly skilled in building and retaining high performance teams by hiring, developing and motivating skilled professionals. I am a people person who has learnt that it is better to seek first to understand than to be understood. I have successfully completed the Fundamental in Project Management training program with Ryerson University and have since acquired my PMP Certification.

I am eagerly looking forward to meet with you to discuss the position.

Yours Truly
