Dear: Hiring Manager
As accomplished Construction Project Manager with extensive Heavy Civil
Highway & Bridge construction experience. I was very interested and excited
to learn about your Project Manager opening. I offer 15 years of hands on
construction project management experience working on broad range of FDOT
heavy civil and complex environmental construction projects ranging from 10
million to 55 million dollars. Established ability to manage multi-
discipline construction projects involving heavy civil DOT highway
infrastructure, structural concrete, complex earthwork
excavations/placement, concrete pilings, sheet pilings, bridge
substructure, and bridge super structure including proficiency with
electrical & mechanical construction elements. As project manager,
successfully managed numerous complex civil highway infrastructure projects
under the following governmental standards:
Florida Department of Transportation.
US Army Corps of Engineers.
Federal Highway Administration
Environmental Protection Agency.
Home Land Security/ Federal Emergency Management Agency.
Consistently, recognized for outstanding performance by supervisors and
peers as well as clients providing overall project management, contract
administrative direction of large projects and/or several small projects.
My construction experience is highly recognized by State, Federal and local
governmental agencies with immeasurable recommendations. Successfully
managed projects performance including project costs, project schedule, and
quality by establishing proactive lines of communications with in house
staff, client's engineers, senior management, and governmental permitting
agencies. Seasoned in managing the technical and financial aspects of
project contracts on time and budget as well as successful experience of
subcontract negotiations and subcontractor management.
In February 2010, regretfully, I experienced lay-off as result of economic
corporate restructuring and workforce reduction, my position was
eliminated. Since then, I have remained active in my project management
education and currently taking on line computer courses in business ethics,
and refresher course in construction contract law.
Given the opportunity and privilege to employ my professional experience
and DOT knowledge, I am confident that my ongoing education combined with
my successful experience in the construction management field will be an
asset for your company and benefit your organization. If you agree that my
skills and experience would benefit your operation, please contact me at
850-***-**** or email ablzce@r.postjobfree.com to arrange an interview.
Thank you in advance for your time and consideration, and I look forward to
speaking with you.
Sincerely,
Dennis Brown
