Re:
Dear Hiring Manager,
I am writing to apply for the position of Construction Labourer at your company. As advertised. With a solid background in general labour and construction support, I bring strong teamwork, physical stamina, and a deep understanding of job site safety to your projects.
During my previous roles, I was responsible for loading and unloading materials, setting up scaffolding, cleaning and preparing sites, and working alongside carpenters, masons, and other trades. I take pride in staying organized on the job site and always follow instructions carefully to ensure the project runs smoothly.
I have experience using a range of hand and power tools, and I understand how to read site layouts and follow construction plans. I am also trained in WHMIS and take safety seriously at all times.
I am confident that my dedication and reliability will make me a valuable addition to your crew. I am available immediately and would appreciate the chance to speak with you further about how I can support your team.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely
Taufik El-Alawa
