Dear Ma’am or Sir,

My name is Brandon Carbaugh. My previous work experience would make me an excellent fit for this great opportunity you have to offer in leadership.

My involvement in my past employment can apply to this position in many ways. I am comfortable with people management, structure development, accountability measures, scheduling and assigning workload and consistent workflow for up to 35 workstations on any given day, priority management, established performance targets, involvement with team and equipment for deep understanding of operation, manpower budgets, cost and expense calculations, profit and loss calculations, labor hour determinations, corrective action development, steady supply and consumable procurement and handling, strong team building, and understanding proper flow of business. Problem solving, decision-making, and troubleshooting with a strong mechanical and electrical aptitude are some responsibilities that I enjoy and excel at. I have had up to 82 direct reports. I have the ability to aide a customer, client, production team, or a sales team to meet their needs and goals and align them with the a tangible answer. Learning the customer, client, or employee and utilizing my knowledge in doing so made deadlines, sales, and customer relations palpable. I have experience with mechanics, electric, welding, and fabricating while working on vehicles, homes, and machinery. I build my own furniture as a hobby so I am creative and practical. I am intelligent, a fast learner, and a hard, dedicated worker. I have exceptional mathematic and organizational skills. Being able to utilize manpower in the most effective way to maintain and improve efficiency and profitability has provided me success, and along the way, I always have a continuous improvement mindset. I am proficient in Microsoft Office platforms. I clearly understand the need to always be accessible by phone, and the need to be available to be present for off shift or weekend emergencies. As I have in my current position at Advanced Thermal Batteries, my goal is to meet and exceed your expectations for this available position.

Advanced Thermal Batteries is a Department of Defense contracting company for military weaponry applications, primarily for missiles. I am the Operations Manager for Production and Logistics. Production includes cover assembly, powder processing, pellet manufacturing, and battery assembly. Logistics includes shipping, receiving, packaging, kit pulls, warehousing, and inventory management, which includes parts, tools, and explosives. I manage daily operations in accordance with our schedule and forecast, per any designated program. I align the equipment and workstations to meet any deadlines that are provided. All approvals for engineering change orders pertaining to operating procedures, tool drawings, part drawings, and any revisions require my signature. I utilize our operating system, which is QAD, with a purchase order, work order, and transaction system to ensure that all builds will be supported with in-stock inventory. I am a key contributor and decision maker to the Material Review Board and the safety team. I am responsible for all aspects of employee relations including accountability, disciplinary action, recognition, safety related topics, labor hours and time submittal, training records, rate increases, corrective action development, and maintenance of all of those items. I maintain a high level of applicable communication with my teams, and they recognize my involvement. I store and maintain documentation for all employee certifications and create action prior to expiration of certifications. I have developed Class B weld schedules in accordance with AWS D17.1 and D17.2. I have developed a functioning Lock Out, Tag Out procedure and practice. I have developed multiple process flow improvements to relate better with lean manufacturing practices, and I have instilled many practices, means, and processes to improve 5s in each area, while eliminating potential for FOD (foreign object debris). I have established better traceability and visibility of daily production output, and I have increased efficiency in each area by doing so. I have also established better systems for time and attendance tracking, production error tracking, preventative maintenance, and cycled maintenance items for employees.
