Dear sirs
I’m a 11 years of experience architect in the residential developments (mainly luxury), touristic developments (hotels, apart hotels or resort) in Algarve (Portugal) and projects such as public equipment’s and services. Mainly working in Irish and English companies, but also doing projects, for private clients of different nationalities such as Dutch, Scotland, Danish, Germany and South Africa, to prepare and develop the project, concept, drawings, models, images and other documents relating to the design, coordination and execution of licensing projects, execution and detailing, selection of finishing materials, as well as monitoring and supervision of work on site. I’m looking for new challenges outside of Portugal.
In the last 6 years I have been collaborating as in-house architect in an Irish Developer Newlyn Group, reporting to the General Manager in Portugal Operation: management of in-house design coordinators and interfacing/ leasing with members of the external design consultants team and other associated organizations or companies, leasing with official organizations, technical support to the project management teams, architecture projects, starting on the conception, going through the coordination and execution of licensing projects, execution/ details projects, selection of finishes (control budgets), support to marketing teams, as well as monitoring and supervision of work and safety coordination on site. This give me also understanding of financial aspects of running a design project on time and on budget, ability to work well in a team and work well under pressure and meet deadlines efficiently (reference: G.M. Chris Vaughan +351 914633910).
I' m registered in the Portuguese Architect Order (professional association), as also certification, based on professional experience, as a Project Coordinator and Site Survey Director on site. I have good skills in informatics (AutoCAD 2D&3D, MS Office, MS Project, Image Editor), as well as construction materials know-how in today’s market. Training in strategic sustainable construction, bio-climatic architecture and systems of rainwater are part of my professional training and interest to be developed in future projects. In parallel, I have a certification as a Safety Officer, which is of most value and allowed me to develop activities for safety coordination on construction site.
Yours sincerely,
Alexandre Costa
