Dear Hiring Manager,

I can assure you of one thing: if you hire me, I will make you money. As a seasoned management professional with 9+ years in construction project management, I offer a consistent and impressive track record of successfully bringing in new projects and completing them on time and under budget. I also have a history of helping companies streamline processes on an ongoing basis to continually improve efficiency and effectiveness. I am confident that the skills and experience I bring to the table could be a great match for the position you have available.

I have spent the majority of my career in the Construction Management field with extensive experience in employee mentoring and development. I have managed well over 125 employees throughout my career, guiding each to achieve their best. As a graduate of the Multnomah University Bachelors of Science program, I possess specialized training about the most effective ways of guiding teams to meet ambitious project milestones and targets on time and within budget. My employees know I care about them individually as well as about the company, and they work hard as a team because of it. I am process-driven and passionate in my approach to leading teams, completing projects, and exceeding expectations. Key achievements within the last year alone include: Profit: Obtained and completed multiple large-scale projects under budget within the same year, earning Henkels &McCoy over $6 million in extra revenue.

Problem-Solving: Assimilated many complex projects that were in trouble, delivering innovative solutions. Called-upon specifically for jobs that required unconventional creativity and a never-say-die attitude to be successful.

Leadership: Directed and mentored multiple cross-functional teams through all stages of the project lifecycle within deadlines. I coordinated the work of 75+ staff members from a variety of company departments as well as 15+ outside vendors.

Budget Management: Managed multiple large-scale projects with annual budgets of up to $20 million. I carried out budget analysis and led resource allocation, including labor planning and coordinating company and vendor activities.

I am confident that my combination of talents, skills and ambitions would make me a valuable asset to your company. I'd welcome the opportunity to speak further about how I can make a positive impact on the operational performance there. Thank you very much for your kind consideration. Sincerely,

Josh Bernard
