Safety Officer Insurance Manager

To Whom It May Concern

Delighted at the prospect of growing my career, I’m writing to apply for the receptionist / administrator position your company advertised. I look forward to reaching new milestones and experience in the upcoming years.

During my time at Collins Property Projects, I have been able to connect with not only fellow employees and managers, but also our suppliers and tenants as a trusted resource and learn how to best meet their needs. In my role as a Facilities Risk Coordinator, I’ve introduced an improved system to improve and track our current risk statuses as well as to give sufficient and effective feedback. I’ve also learned to expertly do Risk Assessments and apply the OHS compliance. I can proficiently transition between a range of tasks, demonstrating my ability to prioritize and coordinate critical, time-sensitive responsibilities.

I’m passionate about improving processes to boost efficiencies. I would love the opportunity to take advantage of my training and expertise to create added value to your company. I am grateful for your consideration and will be happy to discuss the opportunity in further detail.

Yours Truly,

Melissa Barnard
