Logging Equipment Operator Cover Letter Template

Dear Hiring Manager, I’ve spent the past eight years operating a range of plant and attachments in siting and processing duties, and I’ve learned to spot issues before they bite. In my last role I helped keep the mill moving by keeping the back-end equipment aligned, with a focus on safety and steady cycle times. We hit a daily target of moving about 900 tonnes of timber through the yard, and I kept our loading and stockpile tallies accurate to within 2 percent. I’ve worked with harvesters, skidders, log loaders, and processors, and I’m comfortable with basic maintenance and small repairs when needed. I’m familiar with feeding felled trees into processors, stripping limbs, loading logs onto stockpiles and trucks, and recording work reports at the end of shifts. I’m steady under pressure and I keep communication clear with the team and the supervisor. At [Previous Company] I helped refine our attachment use and positioning to improve sorting accuracy and cut time on the loader cycles. I kept the log tallies up to date, helped with minor repairs on the loader and chipping line, and supported the crew with practical problem solving on the ground. The work was hands on, and I kept a consistent pace without compromising safety. I’m keen to bring that practical approach to [Company Name] and contribute to efficient plant operation and reliable deliveries. I’m available for an on-site chat and can start with a short offset if needed. Kind regards, [Your Name]
