My 23 years of experience installing, maintaining, testing, repairing and performing live-line work on powerline distribution systems, substations and equipment with voltages up to and including 500 KV would, I believe, make me a valuable addition to your organization. Some of my strengths include:

• Effective supervisory skills to train and mentor inexperienced workers in safe work practices, proper procedures and the correct use and care of equipment

• Adaptability and willingness to respond to unscheduled outages and work in various locations including rural and remote areas

• High stamina to withstand physically demanding conditions such as very long hours, heights and adverse weather

• Strong organizational skills to effectively organize workers and materials to begin and complete the job on time

• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills to maintain positive relationships with people inside and outside

I am known to be a positive team player who is committed to maintain personal and group safety at all times. My dedication, strong work ethic and resourcefulness – coupled with my proven track record of excellent attendance and performance – continually create organizational value. I am confident an interview would demonstrate I have the skills and attributes to contribute to your company’s continued success, and I would welcome an opportunity to learn more about your needs. Thank you for your consideration.

Sincerely,

John F. Williams
