to get projects completed on time and within budget. I find construction exciting and

challenging.

My employers have had me working in all the above positions depending on their need for a

particular project. All my employers have stated that I am dependable and conclude projects.

One client specifically asked me to supervise his next project after I completed one multi-million

dollar project for him.

I am available for an interview at your convenience. Please contact me to arrange a time to

discuss how I can contribute to your construction needs.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,

Charles E. Brewer
