COVER LETTER: Dear Abbott Representative: Attached please find my resume for the above referenced position available at your Austin, TX locations. I am extremely interested in this position given that my related safety, health, environmental, and security career experiences align directly with your Principal EHS Specialist requirements. In my current and former positions as a SHE&S Superintendent, I have built strong programs through effective communication, team management, and close interaction with plant operations, maintenance and quality departments. This role has also allowed me to interact with many company customers and regulatory agencies through their inspections of our facilities. Although I have a Bachelor of Science degree in Civil Engineering from the University of Texas at Austin, I have spent my career since graduation working mainly as an environmental, safety, and/or health professional on high level projects in both management and staff roles. I am equally comfortable working in either role and would like the opportunity to utilize the knowledge I have gained over the years in these roles to support the Caterpillar EHS programs. My resume contains additional information on my experience, skills, and progression into management roles. I would appreciate the opportunity to discuss this position with you and to provide further information on my credentials. I can be reached at either phone number or the email address shown above. Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to speaking with you about this excellent opportunity. Sincerely, Virgil Bruce McFarland
