To Whom It May Concern,

I am writing to express my interest in applying for a position as a Construction Safety Manager. I have completed my bachelor’s degree in Occupational Safety and Health Applied Sciences at Keene State College in December of 2013 and am the current Safety Manager at Sunrise Erectors Inc. in the Boston area. I believe in a proactive approach to a safe work environment and my education/experience has prepared me to promote a need for a strong safety culture for individuals, employees and work place communities.

As Sunrise’s Safety Manager, it is my responsibility to oversee all aspects of safety. I was put into the position to take this safety program and form it into a program that everyone could buy into, a program that everyone could be a part of. As an exterior façade company, the dangers are prevalent. Working in a city demanded by schedules and quick changes, safety needs to be able to adapt. It was my job to have fast/thought out responses and ensure that nobody would be put in harm’s way. While building and continually growing our safety program, our EMR, DART and TRC have lowered notably. Sunrise won the President’s Award for our Insurance Captive and our program is recognized throughout the city of Boston’s elite General Contractors.

As Safety grew, I grew my role. I get to work closely with General Contractors, Project Management Team & Foreman on Logistical Operations and on-site issues. Engage with Crane, Scaffolding and Equipment Sales/Field clients as well as handle all related pricing, invoices and pre-planning & set-up. When an injury occurs I personally communicate with Claim Adjusters and the injured employee and I am the constant communication line between Office/Shop & Field. What I enjoy the most of this career, is the ability to meet all different personalities, different tradesman, complete a successful schedule and work hand in hand in making sure that they leave work, better than they arrived.

I look forward to sharing my passion for Construction Safety, Health and Logistics with you. I can be reached at 860-942-1814 or [email protected].

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,

Josh Emerson Joshua P. Emerson 13195 West Progress Circle, Littleton, CO 80127 (860) 942-1814 [email protected] Corporate Safety Manager, Sunrise Erectors Inc. 2014-Present Occupational Safety and Health Applied Sciences, December 2013 Keene State College, Keene, New Hampshire
