To whom it may concern,
For over the last two decades, I have a demonstrated track record of leading and achieving key deliverables and project timelines in senior public and private sector roles. Many of these roles were as Project Manager successfully working hand in hand with consultants on numerous occasions successfully implementing new processes, procedures, quality initiatives as well as new equipment installations.
I feel that many of my experiences and achievements align very well with the outcomes outlined for this position and I am pleased and excited to be able to present to you my skills that I believe will allow me to complete the tasks required as an intricate part of your organization. I would also mention I that am impressed by the company’s progressive nature and strategies and employee involvement. These attributes make succession planning an easy implementation.
I have been commended for developing positive and proactive relationships within the community. I have the ability to thrive in a fast-paced, high-stress environment like yours, where quality, innovation, community collaboration, speed of decision-making and execution is critical to continuous success.
As a logical thinker I am able to utilize root cause analysis to root out cause and effect then develop and design process control documentation which when adhered to will eliminate conformance.
During a long and successful career I have achieved many of the goals that I have set myself, and am now determined to become a key component in your organizations continued excellence. It would be an honor to me if you reviewed my attached resume and invited me to an interview.

Samuel J Barnes
