Dear Sir/Madam,

I wish to apply for the post of Graduate Engineer in your organisation as advertised in the Official Guide to the Engineering Recruitment Show (14-15 June 2003). I believe this is a challenging position which will offer me scope to make full use of my extensive academic and engineering skills.

Having graduated with a BEng (Hons) degree in Mechanical Engineering from Staffordshire University and having recently gained a Master of Science degree in Computing Integrated Manufacturing and its Management from The University of Huddersfield, I have gained a wide variety of skills and experience whilst working for BNFL Plc. And Crosslee Plc.

Working as Assistant Mechanical Engineer at Calder Hill nuclear power station, in the mechanical and maintenance department, I was involved with the setting up of a mechanical maintenance programme for reactor critical machinery. On completion of the programme, I successfully trained personnel in procedures of condition monitoring and diagnostic techniques. In addition, working for Crosslee Plc., I was employed in the technical department to evaluate and implement a suitable database system to aid the department in creating new version specifications efficiently and in turn, help the production department produce a Bill Of Materials more easily.

With my sound knowledge and skills I believe I am well placed to assist you in your plans for further development and increase your international profile. Together with the experience I have gained to date, I am able to offer the willingness to within a high pressure environment and the ability to communicate well with people at all levels.

I feel that I have the necessary knowledge and experience required to fulfil the post of Graduate engineer successfully. I have enclosed my curriculum vitae and very much look forward to meeting you to discuss your requirements in depth.

Yours faithfully,
