Dear Sir/Madam,
I would like to highlight my experience and abilities across all aspects of quality assurance and control. Whether conducting quality assurance audits and initiatives or driving process changes, I approach each challenge with the same positive attitude. It is exactly this determination - combined with exceptional leadership skills in project quality assurance
- that has enabled me to catalogue a number of successes to date, and that in turn I can offer your organization. As you will see from my enclosed Resume, I am a dedicated and diligent individual with a proud record of technical achievements. I have performed successfully over a number of years in quality assurance and leadership roles, and diverse working environments - on a global basis.
Some of my key achievements:
Expertly advised on quality assurance program development and implementation on a wide range of DoD, petrochemical, industrial, telecommunication, transportation/shipping, and power generation projects in design, construction, start-up and operations
Applied industry consensus quality standards, including ISO 9001-1994; ISO 9001-2000; 10CFR50, Appendix B; 10CFR52; ASME NQA-1; DoE Order 5600.6B; and DoD Program Manager for Chemical Demilitarization (PMCD) Quality Assurance Program Plan
Working on my own initiative, or as part of a team, my extensive experience, coupled with being an organized individual with a detail-oriented work ethic means that I have no problem planning, developing and troubleshooting quality assurance issues in a multi-company, multi-million-dollar project environment. I possess the communication skills needed to relay complex information in easily understood terms. On a personal level I am detailed, accurate and adaptable, all traits which allow me to embrace change and effectively adjust to new or altered processes within a quality assurance environment. I am extremely methodical, also possessing excellent planning skills which I use to manage numerous concurrent tasks. I am now looking for a new and challenging position that will make best use of my existing skills and experience, while at the same time continuing my personal and professional development. I believe that my key qualities are my excellent interpersonal and communication skills and my keen eye for detail. I see myself as a highly dedicated, energetic, enthusiastic, hard-working and strongly driven individual who can add a great deal to your organization. Please do not hesitate to contact me at 256-***-**** so we can arrange an interview to discuss my application in greater depth.
