Dear Hiring Manager,
I am writing to express my interest in the Electrician position within your organization. I am a qualified, trade-tested Electrician with over 19 years of experience, primarily in the mining industry. I began my career in 2005 at Sibanye Gold, where I progressed from a Sectional Electrician to a Senior Electrician over an 18-year period. I have a strong foundation in low and medium voltage electrical systems, preventative and breakdown maintenance, as well as underground and surface operations.
In 2010, I successfully completed my trade test after undergoing a comprehensive learnership at Sibanye Gold and Gold Fields Academy, where I acquired both practical and theoretical skills. I hold N2 and N3 Statements of Results in Electrical Engineering, along with a Level 4 Learnership qualification. I have also completed the Medium Voltage (MV) Course at Sibanye-Stillwater Academy in Westonaria and have worked on MV systems for over 10 years. My dedication to safety, technical precision, and team collaboration makes me a strong candidate for this position. I am confident that my background and hands-on experience will be a valuable asset to your team. I am available for interviews at your convenience and look forward to the opportunity to contribute to your company's success. Thank you for considering my application.
