Attn: Human Resource
I have recently relocated to Oakland, TN and am looking for a company that I can be a valuable
asset to, using my management, electrical, mechanical and people skills.
For the past nine years, I have worked at Boral Roofing, formerly known as MonierLifeTile, a manufacturing
facility located in Henderson, NV. The last two years, I served as the Plant Manager. I have extensive training
in Lean Manufacturing and its implementation.
Before being promoted to Plant Manager, I held positions of Assistant Plant Manager and Maintenance
Manager, and also oversaw the quality and environmental departments and cost reduction projects.
Using my past experience in the construction field, I held the position of Project Manager for several Capital
Projects, always coming in under budget and on time.
My people skills and strong technical/electrical background have given me the experience
to make improvements while building a teamworking environment.
I have attached my resume, and would like the opportunity to show how I can make a significant
contribution to your company.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
William Baker
