To Whom It May Concern,
Thank you in advance for the opportunity to introduce myself. I am writing to
express my interest in a Mechanical Engineering Technologist position and contributing
to the success of your company. I successfully completed the two year Mechanical
Engineering Technologist program in June of 2010 and have been fortunate to gain some
experience in the construction industry.
My previous role in my trade as a Detailer / Designer included drawing details o f
new steel structures, piping layouts, as builts and utilizing Auto CAD & 3D Auto CAD
software. My other responsibilities included estimating small jobs, P&ID’s, HVAC
projects, initiat ing meetings with multiple construction crews concerning drawings as
well as job planning and scheduling on different projects. This position was located at a
remote (fly in, fly out) mine site in Northern Saskatchewan.
Since my position in Northern Saskatchewan, I have moved to Alberta to gain
more experience in my field, and find a company to start my career with.
I have attached my resume which speaks to my skillsets and experience. I am a
very dedicated mature and ambitious worker. I strongly believe I would be a great asset
to your company.
I welcome the opportunity to have an interview and discuss how I can contribute
to your organization. I look forward to hearing from you.
