To Whom It May Concern,

I am very goal-oriented and never frown upon a new challenge. I have in-depth experience in project management, contract negotiations, procurement, project design, construction, quality control, and lean practices in petrochemical, commercial, municipal, and manufacturing industries.

In further detail, my background in highly technical processes within operations has allowed me to be well versed in the managing of business processes across departmental boundaries.

Working in a team environment is enjoyable for me, and I know from experience what it takes to lead crews, contractors, and design teams in order to complete projects on time and within budget while minimizing operation downtime. I am willing to relocate my family for the right opportunity.

Kindest Regards,

Monte Cheek
