Dear Sir / Dear Madam:
If your organization is in need of a Facilities Project Manager with over
20 years of experience driving projects, space planning, and relocation,
please review my resume. My ability to train and lead construction trades
personnel, procure and control inventory, and deliver multimillion dollar
projects within schedule and budget requirements should prove highly
beneficial to your company.
My professional history includes lengthy tenures as Supervisor of
Maintenance and Construction in the Physical Plant Department for the
University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey, and as a Project
Manager for Prudential Investments. Superb skill in interior commercial
design and certification as an Asbestos Building Inspector and Management
Planner are among the most notable traits I would bring to any relevant
management position. I am a creative problem solver, a strong communicator,
and a dedicated strategic planner in fast-paced facilities settings.
My most valuable accomplishments include:
. Completing a multimillion dollar, 3-year roof replacement project for 32
standalone buildings;
. Reducing project turnaround time up to 6 weeks by obtaining a standard
general contractor for all projects, including capital improvements worth
over $50,000; and
. Consolidating a 26,000 SF office layout in less than a week to increase
from 180 workstations to 256 and enable 24-hour contractor shift
rotation.
I would like to speak with you to further discuss the possibility of
contributing to your organization's success. Please contact me at your
convenience to arrange an interview. Thank you for your time and
consideration, and I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Sincerely,
William Deighan, Jr.
