To whom this may concern,
I would like to apply for an opportunity to work with Stantec in an effort
to contribute to your organization. I believe the skills I have acquired
throughout my education in engineering can be utilized in your company's
future endeavors in an effective and useful manner.
I graduated from Clemson University in May 2010 with a Bachelor of Science
Degree in Civil Engineering and an emphasis in Construction/Construction
Materials. Throughout my career at Clemson University I have earned an
overall 3.1 GPA and a senior year average of 3.5 while acquiring useful
experiences as a research assistant to the Civil Engineering Department. I
completed two graduate classes in an effort to further my education while
achieving an undergraduate degree. The Properties of Asphalt Concrete and
Material Testing and Specifications graduate classes are providing me with
great experience and knowledge in my area of emphasis as well as
familiarity with many asphalt testing and design procedures including
Superpave and Marshall Mix design, DSR testing, RAP and RAS design, and the
application and testing of Asphalt Rubber mixes. I also completed further
education in transportation engineering for my technical requirements while
attaining my degree.
During my time as a student I have successfully aided in the leadership of
several research projects within the Civil Engineering department in an
effort to gain experience and knowledge from my professors and to
contribute to the program that has provided me with this opportunity.
Specific projects include but are not limited to: Harnessing Roadway
Energy, Pervious Concrete Research, Nationwide DOT Specifications Research,
Porous Asphalt Application, Use of Processed Animal Waste Matter in Asphalt
Binder, OGFC Research, and Pavement Evaluation Protocol
Analysis/Development.
My computer experience includes engineering specific programs such as
AutoCAD 2008, RAM Steel V8i, and other construction design software for
classroom and job force applications. I am also comfortable in using the
commonly used Office Suite programs including Word, Excel, Access, and
PowerPoint. I believe that all of the skills that I have acquired have
prepared me to work effectively in your company. I am confident that my
training in the processes of design, analysis, testing, and construction-
related field work will benefit your company's future as well as my career
goals as a Civil Engineer.
The attached resume provides an additional overview of my educational
background and the experience I have acquired throughout my career. I
would appreciate an opportunity to schedule an interview with you in order
to learn how I can contribute to your company in future projects and goals.
Please contact me by telephone 843-***-****) or email
