COVER LETTER
Dear Manager,
I am a registered crane operator currently working full time in
Perth CBD, Western Australia. I have been working for one of
Australia's biggest developing construction companies; Diploma
for the past 5 years. Initially I worked as a rigger; I then
completed my registration as a crane operator in 2006. Over the
last few years, working as a crane operator I have been
requested to work on the highest building constructions in Perth
CBD, been given 3 pay rises and been given several job offers
from construction owners and supervisors that have come in
contact with my work / come on site. A typical day for me
involves; liaising with supervisors and contractors, rigging
loads, assessing and selecting appropriate lifting equipment,
and executing numerous types of lifts.
I enjoy working on the ground with my co-workers, being involved
in the day to day lift scheduling, rigging loads, and most
importantly crane operating.
On average I work between 50 to 70 hours a week, I am
contracted to work 45 hours a week, but am often called up to do
longer hours and at times 7 instead of 6 days.
I have been eager to work abroad, for a while now, and in my
recent travels to USA felt the states was it. While travelling
in the states I sat my prac crane operating licence. I passed
and have received my NCCCO certificate for this. I now only need
to complete and pass my written exam after which I will be a
fully licensed crane operator in the states. As I will be
gaining my E3 visa to move and work in the states I am just
looking for a place of work before I make the international
move. I will plan location and other details around my place of
work. My wife and I are keen to travel based on my employment as
much as we are keen to stay in one place. I have my
international driver's licence, which I utilized on my recent
travels to the USA in which I travelled the states over three
months.
I am eager to begin work in the USA and after receiving my
employment confirmation hope to be crane operating / rigging as
soon as January this coming year (2014). I am open to contract
work from 6 months to a year or more (as E3 visa is very
flexible with time limits and can be extended).
I have attached to this cover letter my resume (which details my
employment experience), a copy of my NCCCO certificate (still
current as recently obtained).
Please let me know if you require any further information, or
have any questions, in addition feel free to contact my referees
or myself.
Kind regards,
David Langan
