Dear Sir:
Due to competitive pressures to cut costs and reduce emissions of air pollutants and greenhouse gasses, industrial and commercial facilities have implemented co-generation systems to use energy more efficiently.
I am writing in anticipation that you may be looking for a highly qualified professional with leadership and engineering expertise to help you improve plant operations, optimize fuel efficiency, decrease energy costs, and provide reliable power.
My background includes over 28 year’s progressively responsible experience in co-generation plant operations management, stationary engineering, and refrigeration engineering.
Highlights include:
Directed the day-to-day operation and maintenance of a 13 MW co-generation power plant for Rutgers University, which provides thermal and electrical energy to both the Busch and Livingston Campuses.
Planned, coordinated and directed numerous utility construction projects.
Performed planned and corrective maintenance on centrally controlled district heating, cooling, and power generation plants and associated distribution systems to ensure viable and continuous operation.
Provided training, leadership and direction to plant personnel to meet daily production goals.
Analyzed existing processes and developed improvements to enhance the quality of plant operations.
In addition, I possess strong academic qualifications, broad industry knowledge and excellent communication, interpersonal, and analytical problem solving skills.
I am confident that the combination of my skills and achievements will make a lasting contribution to the success of your company. I would welcome a personal interview to discuss your need for an Asst. Chief Engineer and further details of my background. Thank you for your time and attention. I look forward to speaking with you.
Sincerely,
Daniel McAllister
