Dear Hiring Manager,

I am writing to express my interest in the Health, Safety & Environmental Director position. With 7 years of experience in food manufacturing settings, I believe I am well-suited for this role.

Currently serving as the Interim HSE Director at Linklater & Sons, a $27m/annum seafood processing plant in California, I oversee a team of 6 EHS staff and am responsible for developing EHS programs, procedures, training, work practices, and controls. I ensure compliance with EHS policies and regulations, conduct incident investigations, and recommend improvements to company-wide policies and procedures.

Prior to my current role, I served as Linklater's Safety Coordinator, where I successfully reduced safety incidents by 36% within 12 months by implementing improved safety communication strategies.

In addition to my Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering, I hold a Diploma in Occupational Health and Safety, CIH Certification from The American Board of Industrial Hygiene (ABIH), and am a Certified Safety Professional (CSP).

I am seeking a permanent opportunity at the director level and believe my experience and qualifications make me a strong candidate for this role. I have attached my resume for your review and look forward to the possibility of discussing this opportunity further.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,

Emma Smith
