Construction Manager.I am seeking a senior position with a firm that has a strong long term potential. I am looking for a position that can utilize my team building and mentoring capabilities. Facilitating construction functions by guiding the team to achieving the principal objectives are challenges that I desire. Travel and relocation are acceptable. Most of my careerhas involvedheavy travel andperiodic re-locations.
