~Mechanical Engineer~

Dear employer

It has come to my attention that your company is currently looking for engineers. My technical background is clearly articulated on my resume so I will use this cover letter to expand on my significant skills and abilities. Some of my achievements include:

Developed a device mechanism that patterned cables and increased force at winch retraction for enhanced operational safety (recognized for effort with multiple awards).

Recipient of Navy, Air Force, and 3rd Place Awards for a Regional Engineering Fair, participated in the National Science Fair, and served as a Judge for the Regional Science Fair.

Efficiency in Management and served as a team member for the Oriskany project that involved tool management and checking air quality for workers.

Leadership ability as demonstrated through work activities as a line boss, shooter, troubleshooter and moving to management position as a data observer in CGG VERITAS. I also had the opportunity to work in Alaska for several seismic project for CGG VERITAS and as an Data observer. Also work for Paragon Geophysics which I was able to perform as a equipment coordinator.

If you are seeking for a mechanical engineer with proven achievements in the field, please consider what I have to offer. I am ready and equipped with the skills required to make an immediate and positive contribution to your company.

Please feel free to contact me at the number provided so that we may arrange for a meeting to discuss in greater detail the position available and my background. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
