Dear Hiring Manager,

Please find my resume attached and submitted in consideration of your recent Safety Department opening. I elaborated briefly on my experience and what it taught me below; but sincerely hope to discuss this opportunity with you in person.

In my roles as Corporate Safety Manager and Environmental Health & Safety Manager, my experience includes managing the complete process, electrical, and chemical safety programs for multiple chemical manufacturing sites, industrial fabrication and machine shops, commercial printing presses, construction sites, and equipment installation projects at customer sites around the country. I am adept at quickly discerning management and customer needs, producing consistent and impactful outcomes, and overcoming complex production challenges while maintaining a current and fully trained safe workforce with a positive safety culture.

As a Senior Safety Consultant, I spent seven years managing utility-scale safety programs in multi-site large power generation facilities throughout the state of New Mexico and supporting distribution across the state of Texas. My job focused heavily on providing safety and environmental training to our union operations and maintenance employees, hosting regular safety meetings, and overseeing our own process and electrical safety programs; as well as the compliance of up to four hundred temporary contract workers.

As Project Safety Manager, I have over a dozen years of experience supporting multi-trade heavy industrial incident-free projects with market leaders across the country. My safety management record includes jobs with over one million safe work hours, excellent client relationships, hundreds of hours of training, and long-term success implementing dozens of corporate and site-specific process, electrical, and chemical safety, and compliance programs.

My professional strengths lie in identifying and relaying relevant safety and environmental trainings and communications to workers across diverse trades and skillsets and meaningful reporting to management, proactive identification of safety opportunities and injury / incident avoidance, a commitment to building the collective knowledgebase, sound decision-making skills, and a willingness to be a part of the team. As a leader, I rely heavily on my ability to facilitate group successes by forging cooperative relationships, a healthy respect for the opinions of others, and honest frank communication. I work in a professional manner regardless of the setting and am committed to maintaining my own development and training.

If I may be a good fit for your company, I look forward to hearing from you and am available to discuss at your convenience.

Sincerely,

Mike Way
