Description
COVER LETTER: Dear Hiring Manager, This letter indicates my interest in applying for the position of Contracts Manager. With in-depth contract management experience and 15-year record of managing complex contracts, I have proven skills and a track record of superior performance that yields considerable cost-savings and efficiencies your corporation as a Contracts Manager. Assets that I bring to the role of contracts managers include: * In-depth experience in all facets of prime/sub-contracts, and commercial risk management * Professional Engineering License (Province of Alberta, Canada) * Expertise in contract law, clime preparation/evaluation and dispute resolution * Strategist for negotiating contracts and contributing to corporate contractual policies/manuals * High quality standards and ability to get top results from contractors, and * Proven dependability, integrity, and dedication to corporate goals and objectives As an Engineer, responsible for contract management, I have managed every stage of a contract, from formation to administration and closeout. Through team-building, clear communication and careful progress tracking, I have resolved contractual problems before they escalate and routinely deliver successful contract management. In addition, please see the Ten Contract Administration Modules in my resume that I have managed many large contracts based on them. I have extensive experience in Power Generation and Transmission Projects. Please consider that in Atco Electric I was a Lead Contract Administrator in North Fort McMurray Transmission Development Project including 100 Km of new transmission line (240 KV) and substations. I formed and managed contracts with my team and I was accountable around $200 million (civil, electrical and mechanical contracts). I awarded around $100 million myself to the original contract values based on different changes to the original contracts (attached Contract Change Management Process Map and Claim Management Process Map). For years, the word "business" is defined as "a money-making machine". I believe that my business with my internal client is more than that. It is "a value-making machine". Your serious consideration of my application is very much appreciated. I would welcome the opportunity to learn more about this role in an interview and I am open to relocate worldwide. Yours truly, Reza Sharifi, P.Eng., M.Sc.
