The opportunity to come onboard to your company and work as a Bilingual Safety Engineer would not only be a significant highlight in my professional career, but a chance to demonstrate
my ability to go beyond the expectations that have been outlined in the job description. It is my
desire to compile Safety, Language, Construction and Labor as my foundational platform to
strategically launch my strengths in order to continue your growth and success. My
competencies – leadership, communication, physical hard work – will be key indicators of my
being a top-level performer and team player.
With the certifications of OSHA 30 & Concrete and Masonry as well as many years of gaining an
essential knowledge of the safety environment at construction sites, I will be well-prepared to
collaborate with the project staff, sub-contractors and workers with the safety plan I develop in
accordance to OSHA standards and federal, state and local regulations. In addition, my bilingual
and intercultural skills will be indispensable for creating a cohesive and inclusive atmosphere
which tackles cultural and language barriers that can often impede work relations and safe
work practices. And finally, my strong background in motivating and managing people from
working as a director, coordinator and instructor in the ESL Industry will solidify my role to
guide all parties towards a zero-injury safety climate.
I hope to be given the convenience of an interview to further elaborate on my consideration for
a position and enter into your company culture and continue my career aspirations.
Sincerely yours,
Michael Cummings
