McKissack & McKissack

Dear Sir/Madam:

Please accept my resume for consideration for the Junior Construction Inspector position you have advertised. I have extensive experience in the construction Industry including inspections, management, administrative and scheduling/job coordination. I spent almost five years providing services to a New Jersey Architect, which included daily compliance inspections, detailed reports and digital photographs of all projects we had under construction. I served as a Management Executive at a construction company which included daily construction inspections of each site to ensure all construction was properly completed per plans and specifications and to determine proper scheduling. I worked for a major electrical contractor in a management position on government projects at Lakehurst Naval Base in New Jersey, providing project management, site inspections and administrative functions. I also served as Director of Customer Service which included inspecting all warranty issues to determine the proper corrective actions, estimating all repairs, and coordinating all repairs with the appropriate contractor to ensure all defective work was properly corrected. With my customer service experience, I have outstanding people skills when dealing with your clients and contractors. I would certainly be willing to immediately learn everything that you feel may be necessary to perform this job properly. I function, as an independent contractor so no benefits would be required should you be interested in using my services. I feel confident given the opportunity I would quickly become a valuable asset to your company. I assure you I always get the job done on time and accurately. Thank you for your time and consideration, and I hope to hear from you in the near future.

Cordially,

Barry J. Tillmann
