Dear Sir / Madam:

I am writing in hopes of acquiring a project management/estimating

position with your company. Please review my attached resume where you

will see that I have six years of construction experience in South East

Louisiana. The majority of my construction experience has been with a

civil construction company where I bid, built and collected most projects.

I reside in Madisonville, LA with my wife and children. I am a

determined team player with a strong work ethic and passion for

construction. Vision for design, stamina for job completion and an eye for

quality are some of my attributes. I am a very amiable person with the

ability to make connections with local engineers, inspectors and officials.

I would bring to your company a broad range of skills, including:

. Construction estimating, bidding and management.

. Maintain P&Ls and job costs for project review

. Ability to manage multiple projects / crews

. Knowledge and vision of field work

. Computer skills for scheduling, recordkeeping and correspondence.

I would welcome the opportunity to further discuss a position with you.

If you have questions or would like to schedule an interview, please

contact me by phone at 504-***-**** or by e-mail at ************@*****.***.

I have enclosed my resume for your review, and I look forward to hearing

from you.

Sincerely,
