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.
