Letter of Introduction

To whom it concerns,

I am seeking permanent, or contract employment with a well-established firm. Having worked consistently within the Construction, Development and Real Estate industries for over 35 years, I have become very well versed in almost all types of Commercial, Healthcare, Light Industrial and Residential construction, and development. I am computer literate and proficient with MS Office Suite, MS Project, Primavera Suretrak and several types of online construction software.

I have worked my way through many of the trades and positions related to construction and development beginning as a laborer in my father's small residential contracting company working my way through management and upper management positions in multiple states throughout the US. Besides having held my own General Contracting licenses in three states, I have successfully held positions such as Superintendent, Project Manager, Sr. Project Manager, Construction Operations Manager and Dir. of Construction with multiple mid-sized construction companies and developers. I have worked largely with New Commercial and Medical Offices, Retail, Hospitality, Military, Multifamily and Light Industrial construction and Various Cap-Ex projects as well. Multiple Letters of Recommendation to back it all up provided.

In addition to the above, I have also worked very successfully as a self-employed Construction Manager/Owner's Representative for the last 11 years on projects ranging from $3,000,000 to over $50,000,000 beginning with supervising planning and design, entitlements, performing conceptual estimation and project budgets, and supervising and overseeing construction through final completion and turnover.

Thank you for your consideration,

Sincerely,

Scott Tracy
