Human Resources Manager:
I am a performance driven engineer who will get innovative and creative
solution for every single project on time and under budget, no matter how
complex it can be. However, I have never believed that meeting those
criteria alone was good enough and I have been able to demonstrate my high
potential exceeding customer's expectations in terms of quality and
service.
My forward thinking knowledge has given me dynamic results managing and
directing engineering personnel in the construction industry, and I can
assure that being part of your company would contribute to be a visionary
leader.
I have been able to read, analyze and interpret general business or
governmental regulations on a regular basis as a top performer. My critical
thinking, analysis and recommended solutions regarding technical problems
and complex situations are the best in class.
A superb talent that I will be adding to your organization includes: a
practical approach to direct, design and supervise with a constant eye for
controlling costs and finishing the project under budget, without
diminishing quality. My reputation precedes me for listening and analyzing
employee's ideas and thoughts on creating a safe and productive work
environment.
My professional license is valid in Puerto Rico, but within a small
reasonable amount of time I will get the corresponding license by
endorsement, because there is reciprocity between jurisdictions. Based on
my experience and strong commitment to my craft, I will add significant
value to your team. I look forward to discussing my capabilities in more
detail, and I'm available for a personal interview at your convenience. I
know you are busy, and have many applications to review, so please let me
know if you wish to further discuss your requirements and my ability to
meet them. Thank you for your time and consideration.
