"I have worked in construction for over 20 years in the New York area. I started out working for a company that focused mostly on hotel renovations. We worked with many hazardous materials and I became interested in the environmental protection aspects of the work. I transitioned into environmental remediation projects about ten years ago and worked my way up through several supervisory roles.
I have experience managing subcontractors and I have a passion for making sure everyone is working well together as a team. I am dedicated to making our environment safe and I would love to work for a company like Jacobs that is committed to excellence in this area. I meet all of the requirements for the construction manager role and I am excited to discuss my experience in further detail and learn more about the role in this interview."
