RE: Junior Civil Engineer

Dear Sir or Madam,

As a versatile and self-directed individual with hands-on engineering experience spearheading various construction

projects within the civil engineering industry, I am keen on leveraging my extensive expertise and education in a role

within your company as a Junior Civil Engineer.

I am eager to translate and apply my work experience and expertise developed through extensive hands-on engineering

internships at Greater Toronto Contractors and Civil Structural Engineering education at Ryerson University within the

industry. I am ready to seek new opportunities and challenges within your organization.

Throughout my professional and academic career, it has always been my goal to direct my teams in the successful

coordination, development and finalization of projects and research.

Here is a sampling of just some of my professional accomplishments thus far:

As a Junior Estimator with Greater Toronto Contractors, I managed an extensive range of estimating

responsibilities for comprehensive residential construction projects including providing accurate estimating

services for project labor and materials, identifying additional costs added throughout the project, tailo ring the

project to adhere to the client’s budget, providing estimates with the utmost accuracy, while developing and

implementing initiatives to streamline operational efficiency.

I partnered with colleagues at Ryerson University in a capstone project, leading the design of a single span

concrete bridge, conducting comprehensive research, analysis and calculations while directing team meetings and

developing in-depth and engaging presentations to highlight project progress.

Recently completed a Bachelor of Civil Engineering in Structural Engineering, at Ryerson University, where I

completed comprehensive courses in Structural Analysis, Transportation Engineering, Strength of Materials and

Structural Concrete and Steel Design.

Thank you for taking the time to review my enclosed resume and I look forward to further discussing ways in which I can

make a positive impact within your organization.

Yours very truly,

Kasra Alaei
