Dear Future Employer

I have experience in both the environmental and geotechnical industries as well as pipefitting and forestry services. I am currently working towards earning my Professional Engineering license and am looking for an opportunity with in your company to achieve that. Prior to working with Cal Fire, I served as a staff engineer on a wide array of in state and out of state projects and have developed a broad spectrum of knowledge with in the Environmental and Geotechnical Fields. Over the past 10 years my duties include: soil sampling and logging, groundwater monitoring and sampling, utilizing submersible pumps and low flow sampling methods as well as the construction and installation of all related pump, well and pipe networks. I am proficient in collecting representative soil, soil vapor, groundwater and ambient air samples and completing Chain-of- Custody records in accordance with strict protocols. I have assisted in the design, construction- installation, and operation and maintenance of dual phase extraction, pump and treat, and soil vapor extraction systems. I am proficient and have assisted management in preparing NPDES monitoring and compliance, remedial system progress, site conceptual model update, and ground water monitoring reports. I have enclosed my resume which provides additional information about my undergraduate work and previous employment. As of recent, I worked on the geotechnical side of things including, fault exploration, soils compaction and infiltration testing as well as site specific SWPPP generations and full scale geotechnical reporting. In addition, I also assisted wildland preservation and fire line construction throughout Southern California. I would appreciate the opportunity to meet with you to discuss how my education and experience makes me a prime candidate as an up and coming Engineer eager to learn and contribute to your company. I will contact you within five business days to discuss the possibility of securing an in-person interview to further discuss my background and qualifications. Thank you for your time and consideration.
