Engineering Technician

October *th, ****

Dear First Light, Inc.

My background in Engineering Design and Computer Aided Drafting, I am confident that I would be a great addition to your team.

My knowledge in Engineering Design is enclosed. During my time at TECO Peoples Gas, I was able to build an engineering department from 2 employees to 12 employees. As project manager over multiple growth areas, I developed a cohesive working department that developed into a real “Team” while TECO Peoples Gas expanded their facilities. Along with the engineering design, I have experience in the restaurant equipment repair requiring knowledge of electrical (AC/DC), electronic, solid state, mechanical and gas appliances.

Thank you in advance for your time. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions. I would appreciate the opportunity to review my qualifications in more detail.

Sincerely,

S. Ray Brand
