Please consider my application for process operator position at your plant,
as advertised on indeed.com. I will graduate from San Jacinto Community
College in Dec. 2014 with an Associate of Arts degree in process
technology. Mr. Jackson, my process technology professor, described his
experience as an operator and encouraged me to apply.
As you can see from my enclosed resume, for the past 7 years i have worked
in various refinery and chemical plants as a ironworker and rigger and
boilermaker. I am well aware of the safety rules and the permit systems in
industrial plants. My education in process technology combined with my
field experience, has given me a clear and better understanding of the
industrial environment.
As an industrial worker, I am well aware of the hard work and attention to
safety required to do every job safely. I believe my background in
industrial construction can be an asset to your company, by helping to
maintain a safety minded culture during turnarounds and new projects as
well as in the general workplace.
I have worked many years in this industry to achieve my skills and
knowledge. My experience, education, and safety minded personality have
prepared me to work well with others and to respond logically and
thoughtful to challenges, crises, and added responsibilities.
