Josué J. Ortiz Rivera
M.Arch, AIT
To whom it may concern:
With this letter, I wish to express my strong interest in working as a Junior Architect. After three years in design and construction, I believe I would bring several areas of competence. My resume detailing my professional background is enclosed for your review and consideration.
In my current position, I manage important design responsibilities and coordinate various consultants and work streams under demanding deadlines. I have contributed to the design of numerous high-rise projects in Puerto Rico including the San Lucas Hospital renovation in Ponce and the new emerging medical cannabis dispensaries in Puerto Rico know as Green Growers with 4 stores on the Island. Through these and other projects detailed in my resume I am experienced with building materials and systems, sustainability techniques and construction administration on complex projects. I have extensive experience with a broad range of design and management software including AutoCAD, Sketchup, Adobe Suite and others. I would very much like to talk with you about the designer opportunities and the ways you can utilize my expertise. I look forward to talking about this opportunity. Until then I thank you for your time.
Sincerely,
Josué J. Ortiz Rivera
