About Lee Carder

I offer a diverse work history and skill set balancing solid, goal-oriented achievement and a relaxed approach to life. My Professional experience encompasses Project Management, Project Controls, Client Coordinating, Field Engineering, Planning, Estimating, Environmental Health & Safety, Business Development, Sales, Marketing, Training and Administration. I have worn several hats with each employer and I am adept at multitasking. I tend to be a natural team player who readily delegates authority when appropriate. I am a consistent mentor who provides guidance to Craft, Coworkers, Team Members, Supervision and Clients. I am an intensely persuasive and determined person who has strong social skills and excels at quickly establishing rapport; responding to people with flexibility and open-mindedness. I can easily relate with the client’s point of view regardless of demographic. I am a fluent speaker who expresses thoughts quickly, optimistically, and persuasively. I function well when I am allowed a lot of people-interaction. I actively promote change and look for new ways of reaching or exceeding goals. I tend to be self-motivated enjoying a great deal of interaction with people, meeting new people, making acquaintances and by identifying myself with prestigious organizations with good public images. I utilize this skill to increase my employer’s value with the client and community.I have had 10+ years of Project Management, Supervision, Entrepreneurship, Planning, Coordination and Estimating, and B2B Sales. I routinely manage, mentor, teach and coach co-workers, managers, and clients. My experience indicates that I have thrived in both the private and corporate cultures. I have a proven record of accomplishment for meeting or exceeding goals, expectations and requirements with all of my previous employers and our clients.
