Dear Mr. Schultz:
I am writing to apply for position of Preventative Maintenance Manger listed on
HigherEdJobs.com. I was born and raised in central New York State, and have long
admired the success of the SUNY system in providing a rich and engaging education to
students from around the globe. Binghamtons drive for excellence, experience, and
inclusiveness creates an environment that I could be a very productive part of.
The position of Preventative Maintenance Manager clearly demands a person with a
broad range of experiences and skills and an ability to organize, prioritize, and execute
tasks in a timely and congenial manner. I have faced very similar challenges as the
Director of Operations at Deep Springs College, and I believe that my skill set would
translate readily into this opportunity at Binghamton. Deep Springs is a smaller school
with a smaller facility than Binghamton. This has allowed me to be directly responsible
for, and hands-on with, every piece of equipment, facility, and infrastructure item on our
campus. This first-hand knowledge combined with my supervisory experience in the
higher education field make me highly qualified to meet the organizational and
infrastructure challenges of Binghamtons Preventative Maintenance Manager.
The job posting seeks a candidate with an Associates or Bachelors degree. I hold an
AS in Automotive Technology and will complete a Bachelors degree in Management at
Arizona State University in 2017. In addition, I hold professional certifications as an ASE
Master Automobile Mechanic, and State of California licensed D1 water distribution
system operator and T1 water treatment system operator. I would be eager to achieve
similar professional certification in New York State. In addition, I currently supervise four

to eight full-time staff and 20 to 30 part-time student workers. I am comfortable

prioritizing disparate needs, tracking multiple ongoing projects, and maintaining
productivity in a large group of employees.
I would very much like to speak with you further about this position and how I can
contribute to Binghamtons continuing growth. If you would like any further information
or would like to schedule an interview, please contact me at 760-872-2000 or via email
at pmacleis@asu.edu. Thank you very much for taking the time to consider this letter
and my enclosed resume.
Sincerely,

Padraic MacLeish
