RE: Construction Resume
Dear Sir:
I suspect you’ll find very few candidates with a dynamic background as I have with
experience from pile driving to high end finishes; supported by excellent people skills,
subcontract administration & management proficiency obtained within the industrial and
commercial markets. I’d like to put my skills to work on your behalf.
Working on project types such as EPC, DOD, Local Government facilities, Universities
and Hard dollar Commercial, I have held positions such as Project Superintendent,
Project Management, project engineer, Estimator, safety and as site superintendent; The
largest project assignment, an industrial project in excess of 500,000,000 as a site
superintendent. I have worked my way up the ranks from a Union carpenter in Ca. Local
751 in the General Contracting high end commercial & civil construction to
Superintendent with EPC project experience.
Moreover, having worked as a leader in a variety of construction positions, I have the
background to direct, plan, schedule, coordinate and manage construction projects
including quality control and safety through final acceptance. It is only due to the long-
term goal of my personal quest to develop a well rounded platform of experience
encompassing all aspects of construction management professional to provide the best
service to the company I am representing. I have held positions at numerous companies
to accomplish my goals of diverse experience. However, it is this fact that allows me to
offer you such an unusual breadth of experience.
A personal interview would allow me to demonstrate my talents. I look forward to
hearing from you so that we can schedule a meeting.
Best regards,
Chris Hodges
