Re: Project Manager Position
Dear Sir,
Attached is my resume along with ‘Attachment A’ which details my specific experience in the field of Project Management.
I am looking for a unique executive opportunity where I can provide critical management functions – vision, leadership, strategic planning, finance, marketing, administration, legal insight, and operation control, to enable an organization to establish and accomplish its goals.
I have been working with SEC (Saudi Electric Company, Saudi Arabia) Central and Eastern Region as Project Manager since 2007 at PP 9 (32 + 12 Turbines) and Juba Power Plant (2 Turbines, rush project) secondment from M/s Parsons Brinckerhff/Saudconsult. I have a distinguished record with SEC, and my project has received appreciation from SEC, for producing electricity before the due date.
At this time, I am interested in exploring new executive challenges and opportunities where I can continue to provide decisive and effective leadership.
I certainly appreciate your time and consideration.
Best Regards
Respectfully,
FRANK MENEZES
