Electrician Cover Letter Examples

Dear Human Resources Manager:

My name is David Barton and I am applying for a position as an electrician with ABC Enterprises, Inc. My resume is attached along with a letter of reference from my immediate supervisor. I am an MSHA certified electrician with 5 years’ of experience working in both construction and maintenance of residential projects. From efficiency apartment complexes to country club manors, I have handled a wide range of jobs. Aside from typical electrician work, I have wired home theaters, large lighted aquariums, elaborate security systems and state-of-the-art stereo systems. After working for the last 5 years on residential projects, I would like to transition into a commercial work environment.

I have specific knowledge in analyzing and resolving various types of complex electrical issues. As a result of my years of work with XYZ Electrical Specialists I have acquired a strong knowledge of the National Electrical Code along with knowledge of electrical schematics and high voltage terminations. Through continuing education I stay up-to-date on changes in the electrical code and the industry in general. I am a firm believer in preventive maintenance, and I work hard to ensure that I install systems that allow for the easy management of accident prevention. I do my very best to offer the safest electrical solutions to my customers.

I have an Associate’s degree in Electrical Studies from XYZ Technical School along with my certification from the Mine Safety and Health Administration, the federal agency that governs the education and certification of electricians. I have become somewhat of an efficiency expert during the last 5 years of my employment, and I have some ideas that I believe would benefit ABC Enterprises. Please feel free to contact me for an interview on my cell phone at (555)-555-5555 or via email at [email] Thank you for your consideration. I look forward to meeting with you soon.

Respectfully,

David Barton
