Dear Management Committee:

In addition to my resume, which is just a sample of my experience, the

following is a summary of the skills I've developed over the years to help

you determine if I am a possible candidate for the position at hand. In

short, the following has essentially become my job description over the

past 20+ years. Most of my career has been directed toward site

(horizontal) design, construction, permitting and maintenance, but much of

the same skills and challenges apply to building (vertical) construction,

manufacturing, sales and distribution. Further details can be found below.

Should you have any questions about my specific duties or former

employers, please do not hesitate to ask. I am a hard working, intelligent

and ethical individual who is in need of an opportunity to prove (and

improve) myself, and I'm looking for the right company to do that with.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,

Gary Gasperini, P.E., C.U.C.

A. Project Coordination & Planning

The following skills were necessary for managing and coordinating the

efforts of initial project planning and product development with

engineering, permitting and construction:

. Above average writing skills and personal communication adeptness.

. Ability to coordinate design related issues with others quickly and

precisely in order to keep the project on schedule.

. Willingness to manage the various levels of in-house (or client)

design reviews and approvals necessary to start the project on time

. Tactful but determined relentlessness in reminding others of their

responsibilities and duties in order to keep the project on schedule

or to remedy design / construction problems.

C. Zoning, Engineering & Permitting

The process of improving land includes zoning, civil, environmental,

structural and geotechnical engineering of the proposed improvements, and

acceptance, certification and turnover. Effectively coordinate with

legal team with regards to providing the legal documents required for

the agency acceptance and turnover procedure.

D. Construction

effective and economical project design and maximize company

possible, such as a community development district (CDD)

reimbursement.

with specific regards to maintenance issues, aesthetic or otherwise.
