Dear Sirs

I would like to apply for the position of Engineering Manager as advertised recently.

In my current role, I report to the Chief Engineer, and am responsible for the day to day management of internal and external engineering resources to ensure deliverables are completed on time, to budget and in agreement with the project requirements. This includes direct control of a core internal team of Naval Architects, Mechanical Engineers and research interns.

I input to the pre-project, project definition and project executions phases, including generation and maintenance of detailed project plans; forecasting resource requirements to deliver projects to plan; recruitment to support the plans and managing all resource for the engineering aspects of projects to ensure that budgets and targets are met and that output meets quality and safety criteria.

I have a degree in engineering, and a qualification in electrical infrastructure gained during my time at my present company where I have been working in my current position for 5 years. During this time the business has doubled in size and I have enjoyed a close working relationship with senior managers to assist in and aid this growth.

The job requires a high level of expertise with Microsoft project which is the primary tool we use for planning and reporting.

I am now seeking a position which will enable me to build upon my experience and believe this opportunity would be ideal for me as it is based in London where I am currently located and offers the opportunity to travel to and input to a wider range of projects at other locations in the UK and globally.

I enclose my CV and am available for interview at your convenience. References are available on request and I very much look forward to hearing from you as appropriate.

Dear Sirs

I should like to apply for the role of Engineering Supervisor as advertised recently.

I am currently in charge of a small engineering department for a firm of Civil Engineers. I am responsible for hiring, training and developing new recruits and work closely with team members to manage engineering projects to ensure their successful completion.

Specifically, I schedule staff assignments, supervise the staff within the engineering team, assist the team leaders, develop appropriate systems to track the projects and liaise with directors to report on progress and report back regarding performance reviews to ensure the projects are on track, or to explain delays and outline solutions to recover project time.

I have a degree in computer engineering which is of great value, particularly as most of our projects are driven by computer aided design (CAD) systems.

I enjoy mentoring junior members and explaining the technical and analytical processes involved in the creation and successful execution of a project.  A lot of the work also involves problem solving, as you would expect, and
I am able to remain calm under pressure, which is a great asset when balancing dealing with the demands of the organisation and its clients, and being able to get the best performance out of a team, several of whom are fairly inexperienced and, therefore, looking for inspiration and sound leadership.

I would now like to expand my capabilities by working in a larger department in line with my further studying to help me progress to a senior management position. I am currently studying part-time for a Masters Degree in Engineering and am one year into the course.

I enclose my CV and am available for interview at your convenience. References are available on request and I very much look forward to hearing from you as appropriate.

Yours faithfully

20 May 2020

Dear Sirs

I would like to apply for the role of Surveyor as advertised recently.

I am a fully qualified (ARICS) building surveyor, currently working for a firm of managing agents, who oversee a large portfolio of properties across the London area as well as having some stock in other major Cities across Britain. I am, therefore, required to travel on occasion to view some of the firm’s portfolio to carry out dilapidation and maintenance checks.

Most of our work involves over-seeing the design of large, multimillion-pound structures and adaptations and repairs and maintenance, and sometimes includes working with buildings of architectural or historic importance.
I have also on occasion had to attend Court to give evidence where commercial tenants have breached building regulations.

My role involves ensuring projects are completed on budget and to schedule; advising Partners on schemes and projects and determining requirements; preparing scheme designs with costings, programmes for completion of projects and specification of works; preparing documents for tender and advising on appointing contractors, designers and procurement routes; determining the condition of existing buildings, identifying and analysing defects, including proposals for repair.

I also look at new techniques such as energy efficiency, environmental impact and sustainable construction; the preservation/conservation of historic buildings; and dealing with planning applications and advising on property legislation and building regulations; assessing and designing buildings to meet the needs of people with disabilities; advising on boundary and rights of light disputes and party wall procedures; and preparing insurance assessments and claims.

I am interested in this role as I want to move away from general commercial work to work more with historical buildings, which is the area that most concerns your portfolio of properties.

I enclose my CV and am available for interview at your convenience. References are available on request and I very much look forward to hearing from you as appropriate.

Yours faithfully

Dear HR

Further to your advertisement in the London Standard last Friday, I would like to apply for the position of hospitality manager.

I have several years’ experience in a similar role, but on a smaller scale. I currently have overall responsibility for four dining rooms and 3 function rooms in addition to ten meeting rooms. I have many staff members who are managed by heads of department and they, in turn report to me.

I have thoroughly enjoyed the three years spent evolving the role to the present level. I feel that I am now ready to progress my career in a larger organisation where I can further my interest in food and have a greater overall input within the company. I have many ideas for expanding the role beyond its present remit. You indicated in the advertisement that you welcome suggestions from senior managers and encourage them to become more involved in the business.

I have enclosed a copy of my CV, together with details of my qualifications which I hope you will find interesting.

I will be pleased to attend an interview whenever convenient to you and I look forward to hearing from you in due course.

Yours faithfully

Dear Sirs

I should like to apply for the role of IT Consultant as advertised recently.

I have been working in an industrial based organisation, advising on business and IT problems. On a day to day basis this has involved consulting staff, defining objectives, determining information system requirements and making recommendations, writing reports and documentation and, as part of a team, designing and installing IT systems.

I am also responsible for heading up a small team of trainers who are also involved on ongoing help desk support, answering questions and trouble-shooting where needed. It is a demanding role because of the critical nature of IT systems in keeping the business up and running at all times.

As such, I am often required to work long hours and some weekends on emergency call out.

I have been in my current role for 18 months. I have a degree in Computing Science and have gone on to study further qualifications specifically in SAP and Microsoft software application packages.

I would now like to focus on SAP and see that this is the main focus for the job advertised, hence my application for this role.

I am good at team-working as demonstrated by the fact I head up the training team, I have good analytical skills and am meticulous in my approach. I very much hope to be considered for this position and look forward to hearing from you as appropriate.

I enclose my CV and am available for interview at your convenience. References are available on request.

Dear HR

I would like to apply for the role of Project Engineer as advertised recently.

I have a degree in Engineering and, as a project engineer who is part of a project management team, I have a lot of responsibility directing a team of individuals and keeping track of several projects, from monitoring status, through to taking the long view – evaluating economic factors for future projects.

I have to ensure that the various parts are progressing, and that the project works as a whole. I get involved at every level of the project from concept to production and everything in between. I often have a wide range of different projects on the go at the same time, all at different phases of development.

Although my routine varies, it generally comprises ensuring a project is fit-for-purpose and adheres to the project budget and schedule, that all relevant safety objectives and legal requirements are observed; I have to account for engineering tasks to ensure they meet contract requirements, develop project-specific procedures for the work to be carried out,  ensure all justifications for contractual variations during projects are maintained to support subsequent commercial claims and take responsibility for a team of engineers and training/mentoring junior engineers.

I now wish to progress to senior engineer, or project manager, and eventually overall operations manager and would like to apply for this position as it offers a pathway to providing this career opportunity.

I enclose my CV and am available for interview at your convenience. References are available on request and I very much look forward to hearing from you as appropriate.
