John Simmons Email & Phone Number

I am a Purdue graduate with a major in Construction Management Tech and a minor in Organizational Leadership. I am a former Boy Scout and achieved the rank of Eagle Scout. My leadership skills and the knowledge I've gained in school and internships makes me a great candidate. During the summer between academic years at Purdue I have had the opportunity to work for a construction company as an Intern. These internships were very valuable to my learning and understanding of the construction industry. In my first internship I worked as a laborer for an electrical contractor. This gave me hands on experience in construction and allowed me to work with and learn the electrical trade. This on site experience is very valuable to me as it showed me how a construction site operates and what its like to be the people doing the work. During my second internship I spent some time working in the office assisting project managers. Here I learned how to make purchase orders and change orders. I also spent some time doing quantity takeoffs and estimating. I was able to apply what I had learned at Purdue to help me preform in these tasks and do high quality work. This hands on experience in a construction office allowed me to develop and apply the knowledge I have learned into skills.
