To whom it may concern,

Attached, please find a copy of my current resume. As a detail and deadline-oriented Construction Estimator with a wide variety of related experience, I believe I am uniquely qualified for the position with your company as my background also includes a Master’s thesis that was based on Six Sigma/Lean Practices which focuses on creating value by minimizing waste, and improving processes. Working as a senior team member, I have gained extensive skills, experience and training in construction, including, but not limited to: estimating, budgeting, cost control and construction/customer/project management. My strengths include a keen knowledge with regard to planning, cost analysis, problem solving and customer service as well as the development and maintenance of excellent professional relationships with sales departments, vendors, customers, staff, and colleagues within the industry. I work well individually and / or with multi-disciplinary teams, including day-to-day contact with subcontractors and vendors; making all necessary business decisions during preconstruction through final construction, with bottom-line responsibility for the successful completion of my projects and maintaining the highest emphasis on quality.

I thrive on challenge, and the desire to expand my skills and background, including integrating into new cultures and working practices, which has served to broaden my knowledge and expertise, while developing my long-term career focus.

Am well-versed in all Microsoft applications and currently use Timberline/Sage software for estimating. I look forward to hearing from you,

Respectfully submitted,

Kristin Sosso
