To Whom It May Concern:
I have 35 years experience in the design and building industry and have a very diverse set of skills to
offer. Over the years I have held down numerous roles from Project Manager, Construction
Manager, Project Architect/Design Consultant and Office Estimator and Business Planner. For many
years I also ran a private business and have invested and developed several private ventures in the
property market.
It is important to note that 14 years of my experience has been spent in the delivery of health services
to Australia’s largest Hospital including building upgrades to existing departments, new buildings
and maintenance prevention programs. These jobs also required skills in budget forecasting,
occupational health and safety issues, business plans and financial reconciliations. Responsibility for
redevelopment projects included the planning, design and documentation including tender stages and
evaluation phases, contract administration including budget control and all activities associated with
the commissioning of the facilities and ongoing minor defects. Most projects also included a post
occupancy evaluation to document the positives and negatives of projects in an attempt to keep the
client advised on such things as preventative maintenance issues, improving construction methods
and continuing to develop better protocols for Cost Control.
I believe that my diverse set of skills will inject a new found energy to your organisation and my vast
experience can only add and compliment these sets of skills. I feel confident in undertaking a more
overall management/executive role. The position I believe requires a combined effort of building
and design background together with a positive attitude of developing relationships. I also feel more
than capable to handle and manage the administrative and technical aspects with a diplomatic
approach of fostering good will and dedication amongst all the varied disciplines that contribute to
the organisation in this and related fields.
I am looking for a challenge, security and more importantly an environment that is friendly and
willing to work as a team. Thank you for considering my application and I look forward to
discussing the position with you personally. I can be contacted anytime with my contact information
above.
Yours sincerely,
Vic Buccheri

8. Professional skills in the Health Care Industry
Presentation skills

advice to Executive Management including:

• Detailed design and budget presentations to clients and associated partners.

Technical and Administrative skills
I have been responsible for the preparation of design documentation from concept through to implementation
and commissioning for the projects mentioned above.
I have successfully managed an experienced team of trades and professionals and been responsible for:
• Project design and documentation.
• Preparation of Specifications.
• Preliminary Costings/Feasibility analysis of development proposals.
• Project Tender.
• Project Administration.
• Appointment and Co-ordination of project consultants and
Project Management.

standards and guidelines.

9. • Computer literate in Microsoft applications and BEIMS and other building management
and data systems.
• Proven ability in budgetary control.
• Knowledge and experience in the field of Occupational Health and Safety.
Proven ability at managing effective relationships
I have developed and maintained effective working relationships with a highly diverse group of individuals and
groups (eg. CEO and board members, departmental clients, external consultants, builders and contractors, state
and local government representatives, financial contributors who may have a stake in the redevelopment process)
in an often highly emotive and contractual environment within a complex organisational structure with varying
expectations.
Examples of managing effective relationships
User Group and Project Control Group Meetings implemented during the design phase of each project balancing
the needs of staff against budget realities
Consultants/Contractor Meetings used as a tool to progress the implementation and administration of a building
contractual agreement between the relevant department and external
consultants/contractors
On site supervision and on the spot decision-making during the construction phase of a project – this is an
important relationship as it reduces the potential delays associated with formal documentation and provides the
contractor/builder with an effective way to communicate with the relevant department. Whilst formal
documentation is still required the face-to-face relationship at ground level is very positive especially if handled
diplomatically and fairly.
E-mails are fast becoming the preferred tool for correspondence and are an effective and legal way to
communicate with all stakeholders. There is a constant need to ensure relevant customers and external
participants are made aware of all key functional and operational objectives and by effective use of the e-mail
system we can manage and make sure that all objectives are met or at the very least effectively communicated so
that informed decisions can be made.
Managing Multiple Stakeholders
I have provided professional advice and assistance to senior management on aspects of building design,
development and optimal use of space within the organisation
I have a strong ability to manage staff and work as a team.
Experienced in the administration, direction and control of contracts/contractors,
consultants, administrative and trade staff.
Able to demonstrate a high standard of clear verbal communication, written instruction,
and presentation skills to staff and senior management.
Significant experience in the public services
This criterion is evidenced by the Curriculum Vitae enclosed. This experience has developed a broad range of
senior management expertise in corporate support services and strategic business planning. It has also
broadened expertise in effectively dealing with a variety of government departments and associated partners
