Forestry Machine Operator Cover Letter Template

Dear Hiring Manager, I recently finished a stretch running a range of logging plant where I helped streamline operations on the skid and yard. In the last year we moved over 1200 truckloads of logs and I kept the machines in service with minimal downtime. I’ve found that careful pre start checks and steady pace win big on safety and throughput. I’m comfortable with operating feller bunchers, harvesters and forwarders, and I’ve worked with chippers and log splitters when needed. I pay close attention to maintenance gaps and I record log tallies and work done each shift. I’m keen to bring solid safety practice and reliable performance to [Company Name], with a practical approach to equipment and crew coordination. During a recent job at [Previous Company], a weather break pushed our workload into tighter windows. I helped re-sequence tasks, moved to a different loader to keep trucks flowing and to reduce idle time. The team finished the week with significantly improved on site efficiency and fewer near misses, and I documented the process so we could repeat it when conditions changed. I’m available for a chat about how I can contribute to your team. I can start soon and would be happy to discuss how my experience aligns with the role at [Company Name]. Kind regards, [Your Name]
