Dear HR;
Your recent career opening for the Manufacturing Engineering Manager
position interested me because your requisites for the position match my
background and experience.
As you will see from my resume, I am a successful professional manager with
experience in manufacturing environments. You will quickly identify my
major accomplishments, but to give you a summation of what I have to offer,
here are several accomplishments of which I am very proud of.
. While at FANUC Robotics, I prepared proposals of robotic systems
including design/fabrication of specially designed equipment,
overseeing installation and transition into production.
Responsibilities included scheduling, budget, and vendor management.
. While at the DeVilbiss Company, had complete engineering
responsibility for any component, machine designed, system controls
and installation drawings that were designed by the Design Engineering
Group. Total dollar volume of approximately $25 million.
. While a plant manager at MetoKote Corporation was responsible for
starting up an $8 million, (130,000 Sq Ft) facility that applied
electrodeposition (E-coated) and powder coated components for the
Automotive Industry. Managed construction of the building, provided
significant design input to determine the best location of the
equipment to insure good product flow.
I welcome the opportunity to meet with you and review my background further
to determine how my skills and experience can meet the needs of Ciresi &
Morek's Client. I look forward to hearing from you shortly.
