Dear Hiring Manager,

In response to the job posting for the Engineering Manager, I am writing to express the unique qualifications and drive I possess for this particular role. The majority of my career has been in the area of project engineering, in particular projects dealing with subsea facilities. Subsea facilities are complex systems that require a large amount of integration between individual assemblies. This integration has required me to work with multiple groups from a variety of disciplines to come together with an optimized solution. This experience has given me knowledge of how to work with multiple groups of people with a variety of different motivations in how a project is to be accomplished. By having these interactions I have learned skills on how to influence groups to my advantage, as well as how to be flexible in my own motivations and needs as owner of a delivery package towards accomplishing then end goal of a successful project. My career has been marked by a passion for learning new skills and concepts. This has always driven me to dive deep into the knowledge behind the equipment and interfacing equipment in my work packages. It has also driven me to seek new opportunities where I can demonstrate my adaptability and my ability to learn and succeed.

I have also had the privilege of working overseas. My time abroad as an expatriate in Norway provided me with invaluable experience working in a multicultural environment. This experience was further expounded upon as a package lead for the subsea trees on the Chevron Rosebank project, in which I was responsible for the $250mm USD workscope. Designed and managed at three separate locations globally, the entire breadth of the subsea tree package was reported to and managed by me. Furthermore, my role required interfacing with the vendor at multiple levels within their project organization and within their cooperate management team. In having these experiences, I have had time to manage people directly and indirectly while building a sense of teamwork across cultural and geographical differences. Thank you for your consideration and your time. I believe that I have the skills necessary to successfully execute the position and provide value to the company in the form of a unique perspective shaped by my work experiences, and shaped by my adaptability to changing situations. I look forward speaking with you to further discuss what my experience and abilities can bring to this position.

Best regards,

Andrew Carruth
