Dear Sir or Madam,

I am a motivated aviation professional with critical thinking skills and extensive Director-Quality Assurance/Control experience. I believe that my professional background and industrialist drive make me an ideal candidate for your organization.

As a person who thrives in high-pressure and fast-paced environments, I strive for positive results through the application of my professional skills and abilities. Additionally, I possess expertise in operational management and vendor/supplier surveillance and an aptitude for optimizing performance and motivating colleagues. In any position, including but not limited to Inspection, Contract, Production, Calibration, Warranty Administration, Training, EH&S, Quality Management and FAA Release to Service I am able to visualize success and identify innovative and effective strategies for achieving it. I have held an FAA Repairman Certificate with Accessory, Radio and Instrument Ratings with Release to Service authority. Please see accompanying resume for a list of my professional accomplishments.

I have forty years experience in the aviation industry, including ten years experience as a quality auditor for a Federal Aviation Administration Part 145 certificated repair station. I have applied for, implemented and achieved certification to the ISO 9001, AS9100 and AS9110 standards. I am an experienced vendor/supplier auditor and have conducted audits in accordance with the above listed standards and FAA CFR Parts 121, 135, 145, the C.A.S.E.1A Standard and Source Inspections in support of military customers to ENG-STD-I and II. I served five years as the primary corporate quality audit contact for the U.S. Air Force / Northrop Grumman E-8 Joint Surveillance Target Attack Radar System (J-STARS) aircraft at the component level. My management and problem-solving strengths have enabled my professional growth.

I have enclosed my resume for your review. I appreciate your time and consideration of my interest for any relevant positions within your organization.

Sincerely,

Peter Sanz
