PROJECT MANAGEMENT
· Cover Letter

I am seeking employment with a company involved in the fields of Construction Management and Civil Engineering, operating worldwide. I am interested in a Project Management position located in the Middle East, North America or Europe.
I have gained extensive experience as a Construction Supervisor, Project Engineer, Structural Designer, CAD lecturer, and a Project Controls Manager (Resources, Cost, Schedule, Reports, Claims, Project Procedures & Strategies), during my career.

I am a graduate of the Czech Technical University in Prague (1995-2001)with a Master's degree in Civil Engineering with an emphasis in Building and Structural Engineering. In Technical College (1991-1995) I specialized in Mechanical Engineering and Computer Aided Design (CAD).

From 1998 to 2002, I was a consultant to several engineering companies as a Structural Designer and ran an AutoCAD training company. From 2002 to 2006 I was employed by the Perini Corporation, as the Project Engineer at the security upgrade of the American Embassy in Prague; as the Program Controls Engineer in Iraq and Kuwait on two major Iraqi reconstruction programs with value of $850 million to restore 400kV power lines, 33/11/132/400 kV substations, and rehabilitate 40-300MW gas turbine power plants, damaged during the war in Iraq. My responsibilities on both programs included the following tasks: Development of the program management plans, work breakdown structures, document coding systems, electronic document and submittal control systems for remote sites (Expedition, FTP server), cost and progress reporting systems, risk management systems, and the cost loaded master schedules (P3); Participating in project meetings with the client and subcontractors; Monitoring of all phases of the programs from proposal to commissioning; Cooperating in administration of subcontracts and evaluation of claims.

Since March 2006 I have been employed by the Hill International who is the project manager on the Bawadi project in Dubai, as a Project Controls Manager. Bawadi is a USD 26 billion hospitality and tourism development which will see the construction of the world's largest hotel. I have been leading a team of engineers and other specialists who is responsible for development and implementation of project procedures and systems to plan, manage and control project resources like cost, time, equipment, labor, and documents. I have been employing several project management platforms for project collaboration and communication during all project phases from master planning to construction.

I am self-motivated and successful in meeting project schedules on time and within budget. I have worked my way through the ranks and have developed a very thorough hands-on knowledge of the construction industry in Europe, America and Middle East. My strong points are my leadership qualities, team work, organization and IT skills, problem solving, and human relations.
