Stephen Cooney
I am shortly to graduate with a BSc in Construction Project Management from the
Institute of technology Sligo. Over the course of my studies I have developed an ability
to manage the construction process and to meet the needs of clients wit hin legal,
financial and environmental constraints. I have also gained management skills to plan,
organise and control construction projects. As you will see below, I am a highly
motivated self-starter and have worked successfully both as part of a team and on my
own initiative on numerous projects. I have very good interpersonal skills, and relish
working in a challenging environment. I believe that I could make a significant
contribution to your company and look forward to discussing my application with you
at an interview.
