Dear Hiring Manager,

I am writing to apply for the Material Handler position at Grainger in Patterson, CA. I bring extensive experience in warehouse operations, equipment operation, and safety-focused work environments, along with a strong record of reliability and teamwork. Previously, I worked as a Material Handler at Sea Corp, where I safely operated forklifts and pallet jacks, coordinated shipping and receiving activities, and maintained organized inventory areas to support daily operations. Throughout my career, I have consistently followed safety procedures, maintained attention to detail, and contributed to efficient, well-run workplaces. In addition to my warehouse background, my experience as a Bus Operator with AC Transit and as an Aviation Administrator in the United States Navy strengthened my commitment to safety, compliance, and operational discipline. I have conducted inspections, followed strict procedures, and supported team coordination in fast-paced environments—skills that align well with Grainger’s focus on safety, service, and reliability. I would welcome the opportunity to bring my experience, strong work ethic, and commitment to safety to the Grainger team. Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to discussing my application further.
