Construction Project Manager Cover Letter Example

I manage the budget, schedule and subcontractor relationships on a $22 million mixed-use project in San Antonio, running it as the single point of contact between the owner, the architect and eleven active trade subcontracts. I'm applying for your Construction Project Manager opening because the posting's single-project ownership model matches how I already run my work.

I closed out my last project, a $17 million office renovation, four weeks ahead of contract completion and 2% under the guaranteed maximum price, which earned the owner's next negotiated project without a competitive rebid. On my current job I've held change-order value under 1% of total contract value by catching design conflicts during shop-drawing review instead of during construction.

I build and update CPM schedules in Primavera P6, run monthly owner pay-application meetings with earned-value reporting, and negotiate subcontract buyout personally rather than leaving it to a purchasing team. I also walk the site with my superintendent twice a week so the schedule I'm reporting matches what's actually happening in the field.

I'd welcome the chance to bring that same ownership to a project at [Construction company name]. I'm available for an interview and happy to walk through the numbers on either project above in detail.
