Curt MacKenzie

To Whom It May Concern:

I am a very safety focused individual both on, and off the job site. I lead by example in industrial settings to promote a safety culture in the workplace. I have delivered safety courses to students for a variety of topics including hazard identification, working at height, safety communications, and confined space entry.

I have valuable skills from my time in Alberta, and my time offshore Nova Scotia. I have previous experience working in 24 hour-a-day operations, meeting production targets, and maintaining uptime. I understand the importance of diligently performing daily equipment monitoring, properly troubleshooting malfunctions, and performing adequate preventative maintenance to equipment.  

I believe that my knowledge from school, my previous experience and my ability and eagerness to learn and adapt quickly would make me a valuable employee. My work experience and my school experience have given me a solid foundation for problem solving, working in a team, adapting, changing quickly, and completing time sensitive tasks.

Sincerely:

Curt Mackenzie
