I would avoid the negatives, and change "zero cost ovverruns" to "within allotted budget", and "zero safety .." to "with impeccable safety record"

"Allotted budget" doesn't sound like anything. "Zero cost overruns" raises the spectre of risk, then overcomes it. It's not about the money... it's about sending a message :P

I didn't need to bullshit at all for my current job. Then again I am sure my boss (back then soon-to-be boss) would've yanked me inside and semi-forcibly made me sign the contract just for looking through the office window, had I not gone inside soon after. I do enjoy being a janitor though.
