Is this phrase grammatically correct?

Hello,

I am busy with job applications for a consultant and I'm thinking
whether the phrase

"This specialized consulting being usually provided directly at the
clients` offices, I am required and used to integrate rapidly and
efficiently existing teams of developers as well as businesses."

is grammatically correct. My problem is to understand, whether the
first part of the phrase before the comma can be written in this way.
I ask you kindly for an advise whether or not the phrase is correct.

As an alternative I think the phrase could be:

"I am required and used to integrate rapidly and efficiently existing
teams of developers as well as businesses in this specialized consulting
being usually provided directly at the clients` offices."

Thank you very much!!

The meaning of what you have written is extremely difficult to perceive. Both sentences you have proposed are so complex that it is impossible to understand what you are trying to say. I strongly advise that you change your style of English writing.

Hello taiwandave,

thank you very much for your good advise.

You are absolutly right! It is much more important that
the meaning is easy to understand than just the grammatical
correctness. Your example for a point-form list you have sent
is exactly what I want to say.
I thank you very much your help.

Best regards

Thomas

Here's how I would phrase it:

I am engaged in delivering specialized consulting services, usually on-site at clients' facilities. I manage both existing teams of developers and outside contractors, and I am responsible for ensuring that solutions are delivered rapidly and efficiently.
