Dear Hiring Manager:

I am an ambitious and accomplished professional with extensive business development and operations management experience. You will note from the enclosed resume and my LinkedIn profile that my background and experience parallels/exceeds the position expectations for the Plant Manager position listed for your Maryland opening. I will create new value and innovatively propel forward that growing business.

Accustomed to multimillion-dollar marketing and financial responsibilities, I am postured for a position offering me new opportunities and fresh challenges. I bring dynamic leadership, technical expertise, financial acumen and decisive marketing skills to your firm.

• I provided key leadership for Dyno Nobel Inc. Carthage, MO Explosive Operations, responsible for developing and maintaining an organization producing $75 million in annual revenues with 300 employees on site making packaged explosives, which mirrors the requirements for packaging in the food industry. Product quality and delivery met world-class standards for sustained customer delight.

• I spearheaded development of hundreds of new products to delight customers and initiated re-engineering efforts in the plants saving $2-3million in operating costs each year.

• I played a critical role in supporting US and foreign-based operations – strengthening high performance teams in the United States, Europe, Asia and South America to increase productivity and quality and develop world-class operations. I also have broad experience managing Union and open facilities.

These are but a few highlights. I have a strong grasp of all modern management, financial and marketing techniques, solid problem-solving skills and a proven ability to motivate others. I am confident my qualifications meet the position requirements you seek and I would appreciate a personal meeting to discuss how I can bring the increased value you desire for your business.

If you wish to contact me, I can be reached at 417-***-****. Thank you for your interest and consideration. I look forward to your reply.

Sincerely,

Steven Burgin
