To whom it may concern:
My resume is enclosed for your review. I have held many positions over the span of my career. Several of these positions range from Chief Estimator, Sr. Project Management, Sr. MEP Manager / Director and Owners' Representative for Real Estate Development Projects.
Of particular note for you and the members of your team as you consider this placement are my strong accomplishments in construction management, value engineering, cost estimating, change orders and conceptual forecasting functions.
Consider the following:
Over 35 years of all around Real Estate, Construction Management Estimating and Financial Forecasting, purchasing, price negotiation and material substitutions..
Considerable experience in contracting with NYC & vicinity subcontractors, material vendors and manufacturers.
Hands on expertise as an owner of a union construction company for over 25 years.
Extensive experience in "out of the ground" construction standalone or with adjacent buildings up to 15 stories of Steel, CIP Concrete and plank/masonry construction.

Additionally, my contributions have been mainly achieved by improving information flow within the financial service function, already Available MIS systems, and improving cooperation between contracting, owners and design professionals.
After thirty plus years in the industry, I have a thorough understanding of every aspect of this function in a modem construction management company setting. Currently I am self-employed and my clients are very pleased with my performance and I am eager to consider new challenges.
If you are seeking an executive who stays abreast of his field, understands technology, earns 100% staff support, and who is as career-committed as it takes to achieve total success, then please consider what I have to offer.
