Sawmill Worker Cover Letter Template

Dear Hiring Manager, I’ve spent three years on the mill floor, sorting and stacking timber and keeping an eye on the line for any defects. In my last role at [Previous Company], I helped keep the grade accuracy around 95% by using a simple visual check and a quick measure. I know what to look for when timber starts to fail and I understand the flow from sorting to packing. I’m comfortable with the pace of a busy shift and I know how to keep the wood moving without compromising safety or quality. I’ve always enjoyed the hands-on part of the job, like inspecting boards for straightness and uniform thickness, and recording the results so the team knows what’s good to go. I’m well practiced with offcuts, waste minimisation, and assisting the machinists when their feed needs a steady hand. I value clear, reliable record keeping and I’m comfortable using a logbook or tablet to track boards and defect notes. One afternoon at [Previous Company], a sudden batch came through with a higher defect rate than usual. I marked the faulty pieces for rework and flagged the batch with the supervisor while the stack continued to move. The team adjusted the flow and the next hour of output stayed within spec. It wasn’t flashy, but keeping that pace without dropping quality mattered, and I stayed focused on the line. I’m available for a chat about the Sawmill Worker role at [Company Name]. I can come in for a discussion and show how I’ve kept things steady under pressure on the timber line. Kind regards, [Your Name]
