I am interested in a Project Manager/ Project Architect position with your firm and have 25+ years of successful lead experience as a Registered Architect and Planner. As a governmental and institutional Owner’s Representative Architect, and as Consulting Architect for Architectural and A/E firms, I know how to balance owner priorities with home office budget and optimal design. My key skills include the following:
• Comprehensive, hands-on lead experience: all project phases; new buildings and renovations; wide range of size, scope, complexity, building type, and construction
• Diverse project and clientele exposure: mix of multi-story and single family residences, primary and secondary schools, university facilities, offices, retail, laboratories, medical treatment facilities, urban infill design; serving commercial, institutional, and governmental clientele
• Supplemental experience: technical advisor; multi-disciplinary coordinator; reviewer for code conformance, constructability, LEED conformance, and QC; numerous facility assessments for large-scale institutional and corporate facilities and campus (including surveys, evaluation reports, remediation/ replacement estimates, and capital improvement prioritization plans).
• Software experience: CAD: MicroGDS, Autocad, Revit, Sketch-Up, Microstation; and Microsoft: Word, Power Point, and Excel and Outlook.
I feel that my combined skills, knowledge, and experience in Architectural management, programming, planning, design, documentation, and construction administration would be a valuable asset to your company, and I look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely, Ian Frank, RA
