If your company will benefit from an architectural project manager with experience in leading projects involving programming, conceptualization and design through strategic planning, engineering and construction, the enclosed résumé will interest you.
Throughout my career, I have developed a reputation for being one who demonstrates an excellence in project execution, meticulous work habits and a mindset for continuous improvement. I am particularly skilled at client communications, team leadership, building design, technical detailing and construction administration. I thoroughly enjoy, and excel at, collaborating with various team disciplines to ensure and validate the design intent and project goals. Additional strengths include excellent conceptual and design talent with the ability to gain insight to the project and synthesize solutions consistent with established goals.
During my 17-year tenure with Sykes O'Connor Salerno Hazaveh Architects, I offered the following key contributions:
• Playing a key role in mentoring, coaching, and building project teams to facilitate attainment of personal and corporate goals.
• Managing and maintaining productive and beneficial working relationships with local, state, and governmental agencies.
• Providing project problem solving from simple tasks to extensive and complex project and management issues.
• Maintaining role of high producing manager of design and contract documentation for both proposed and completed projects within the United States and abroad.
• Interfacing and working with world renown clients to deliver prestigious projects, including some of the best-known gaming, hospitality, and entertainment facilities within the United States.
Concurrently in the past twenty years, I have acquired a vast amount of experience in custom residential design and construction. In support of that, I am the sole proprietor of Design Build Strategies, LLC. However due to the current industry market and economy, I am exploring a more secure position with a company related to my education and experience.
Confident of my abilities, and proud of my achievements, I am certain that I will make a positive contribution to your company. I also welcome the opportunity of an interview to further discuss my qualifications and your requirements. I am able to meet with you at your convenience at any time.
