Re: David J. Siegner - Owner's Representative & Project Manager

Architecture, Planning, Construction and Real Estate Development

Dear Recruiting Manager,

Throughout my career, I have been a successful Program/Project Manager and

Owner's Rep delivering over $750M worth of new property

development/construction, expansions and renovations for hospitality,

retail, office, commercial and healthcare projects.

Based on my integrity and qualifications, I have been invited to join

companies including CTF Hotels & Resorts, Walt Disney Co. and Interplan

Practice. Most recently, I was recommended to Wyndham Worldwide for their

first and only dual project manager role and was soon promoted to the

Development Team. Unfortunately, when the economy turned, Wyndham was

forced to reinvent their business model which eliminated my position along

with another 75 individuals in the Resort Development Department.

My versatile and extensive project management experience for all aspects of

projects from start to finish generates exceptional results for property

development, new construction, planning, acquisitions, renovations and

conversions. Some of the key skills that allow me to add value to any

organization include:

. Business Acumen: Establish and manage the project program, scope,

budget, schedule, value engineering, risk analysis and reports.

. Project Organization: Efficient management of the project and team:

Architecture, Design, Engineering, FSE Design, Vendors, Procurement,

Installation, General Contractors, Bidding and Contract

Administration.

. Team Leadership: Effective team engagement to deliver projects on time

and on budget while exceeding client expectations and standards.

. Client Service Excellence: Exceptional customer service through

partnerships with internal/external clients, partners, owners and

stakeholders

. Proactive Conflict Resolution: Proactively address conflicts with

quick negotiation of a reasonable solution that maintains forward

project momentum.

. Project Flexibility: Management of various projects with diverse

complexity.

. Communication & Computer Skills: Excellent verbal and written

communication skills with computer proficiency in Word, Excel, Power

Point, etc.

. Multi role, Multi project road warrior: Ability to perform project

planning, design & construction management roles simultaneously for

multiple projects while traveling significantly.

I am seeking opportunities as a project manager with organizations such as

real estate service firms, development companies, hospitality corporations,

contractors and Architectural firms. The ideal company will challenge my

strengths, rewards key contributors and values dedication, hard work and a

positive leadership style.

Thank you for your interest and taking the time out of your busy schedule

to review my qualifications. I look forward to hearing from you to schedule

an interview.

Sincerely,

David J. Siegner, R.A.
