Letter of Reference – Mark Cheeseman

Dear Sir / Maam

Mark worked with Yamaha on a research and development project for the period October 2015 through to September 2016. The project involved the design manufacture and testing of a complex craft. The craft included multiple engines, with electronic power plant control, carbon composite structure and complex mechanical control systems. For confidentiality reasons I cannot disclose the exact nature of the product.

Mark was employed as the workshop manager and assembly lead for the craft. During that time Mark managed the assembly and integration of the drivetrain test rig, the load test article and the final operational prototype. Mark managed a team of up to 20 during the assembly phase.

As the project matured into an operational testing phase Mark managed a team of twelve to meet the daily operating schedule. This involved ensuring the craft was serviceable and ready for test as well as managing regular servicing’s and system teardowns to fault find and modify during the testing phase.

Throughout the project Mark showed a level of dedication and ownership that was both inspiring and tireless, often Mark would work 80 or more hours in a week in order to achieve a deadline. Mark led his team brilliantly and they achieved great things in a short timeframe.

I would work with Mark anytime as he is an incredibly open minded and extremely effective leader. He is highly regarded by all who worked for or with him and I know he will succeed at whatever comes next. It is very sad that the project came to an end and Marks position ceased to exist.

Yours Sincerely

To whom it may concern,

I have known Mark Cheeseman for 15 years through his Offroad motorsport activities and through his manufacturing business. In this arena he was well liked, successful and highly regarded. The Cheezy Racing name became synonymous with quality Australian made product. His sportsmanship and attitude endeared him to other motorsport competitors. Since leaving the Offroad scene, Mark Cheeseman has worked for Yamaha Motor Australia for 18 months. Mark’s role started as Assembly/Factory manager for a confidential project. His tasks initially included specifying equipment and processes required, outfitting facilities and building the team to manufacture and assemble the project. Mark was able to maintain confidentiality, manage the factory and meet the needs of the project easily. Over time Mark’s role morphed into project manager- managing the majority of the day to day interactivities of 26 internal staff and up to 30 external staff across 3 sites, as well as international vendors and stakeholders. Mark’s success in this position was largely due to his unique ability to combine the theoretical plans and requirements of the engineering team with the practical realities of the build/assembly team. Mark’s knowledge of production methodology was very valuable in translating the engineer’s virtual plans into something the vendors could work with. The timelines of the project were extremely aggressive but were achieved through Mark’s leadership, planning and example. Throughout the project he has shown a wish to learn and expand his formidable skill set and is never afraid to get his hands dirty. Mark genuinely enjoys problem solving, new challenges and being thrown in the deep end. His commitment, positivity and drive are infectious and an asset to any organisation.Should the opportunity ever arise I would have no issue hiring Mark again.I’m happy to discuss at any time.
