RE: Maintenance Supervisor

Dear Hiring Manager,

As a resourceful, diligent maintenance supervisor with comprehensive experience leading teams and large projects in heavy-volume environments, I’m well-positioned to oversee plant maintenance and improvement at your company. With this in mind, I invite you to consider the enclosed résumé as you look to fill the Maintenance Supervisor role.

My career has been marked by a steadfast dedication to achieving seamless operations while steering the workflows and strategic management of large commercial maintenance projects. From sourcing and costing equipment and supplies to managing teams and projects to orchestrating safety training and writing reports, I’ve performed a full range of leadership and management tasks to ensure plant functionality, efficiency, and performance.

With more than 15 years of experience in positions of increasing responsibility and scope with Shell Oil (now PBF Energy), I’ve excelled in spearheading all phases of multimillion-dollar capital projects while continually identifying and pursuing strategies to reduce supply, operational, and equipment costs.

Additional highlights of my qualifications include:

Holding full responsibility for the maintenance, repair, and upkeep of $100M in plant assets

Demonstrating outstanding technical knowledge and understanding of commercial plant equipment

Supervising repairs, conducting inspections, verifying equipment, delegating tasks, and ensuring adherence to safety guidelines and regulations

Communicating consistently with cross-functional departments to drive successful implementation of area maintenance projects and improvements

Troubleshooting equipment and system issues and failures, diagnosing problems, and performing hands-on repairs to swiftly return them to working condition

Coaching, motivating, coordinating, and supervising highly productive and reliable maintenance technician teams while demonstrating superior communication and time management skills

With my proven ability to supervise teams in performing all facets of plant maintenance and improvement, coupled with my interpersonal and leadership abilities, I’m now prepared to bring the same qualities that have enabled my success to this role.

I welcome the opportunity to speak with you and look forward to connecting soon.
