To whom it may concern.

I am seeking a position with your company because I feel we are ideally suited for each other. I desire to return to power engineering as a post operator. As a qualified and experienced power engineer I offer to you a long-term employee with a wealth of experience as a both power engineer, Welder, and Loader & Backhoe operator. Recently I was also trained on Haul Trucks with Nort American, and Flint, was signed off on Cat models 797’s down to Cat 777’s.

I feel my background has blended itself into a well balanced and versatile worker. My years in production focused environments, coupled with my time in safety sensitive positions have instilled in me a commitment to the safety culture in which we operate, while still thriving in an efficient environment.

I perform my work with proper, diligent preparation so that I never rely on chance. This is the basis of the reputation I have built within the industry of accountability and reliability.

I look forward to an opportunity to meet with you to discuss how we maybe be able to discuss how I may contribute to your team. Thank you,

Donald MacIsaac
