Dear Ms Graham,
After reading your job advert for a Design Engineer I would like to put myself forward for your position as I believe I have all of the skills that you are looking for in a candidate.
I have a natural desire to work with new technology and use the latest cutting-edge design tools and advanced engineering processes.
Since May 2013 I have been employed by Northern Electronics as a Design Engineer, where apart from being involved in the preparation of design concepts, models and detailed drawings, I am also tasked with supporting other company staff with my technical expertise. Aside from this, I am responsible for managing my own projects from initial brief to completion and can be relied upon to ensure high levels of accuracy and attention to detail in everything that I do.
As a true professional I have the ability to plan, control, and take responsibility for my own work. In addition to this I possess the communication skills needed to be able to clearly explain complex design concepts to non-technical people.
On a personal level I not only have a passion to succeed and generate results, but also have the ability to work with a low level of supervision and intervention.
At the moment I am looking to take the next step in my career and progress into a role that gives me more responsibility and autonomy to run my own projects. If after reading the attached CV you find me to be a suitable person for your position then do not hesitate to contact me by phone, letter or email to arrange an interview.
Thank you very much for taking the time to review my application.
Yours sincerely,
