Dear HR,

I am writing to you regarding the position that is currently open. I am very interested in this position and wish to be considered as a qualified applicant.

You will note by my enclosed resume that I have extensive experience in all areas of facility engineering. I have studied and worked hard to perfect those skills. They include:

Estimation of job requirements, including, labor, required equipment and outside resources needed to complete a job to customer needs and satisfaction
Control system commissioning and onsite customer training
Support of service technicians through technical and/or onsite support
Preserve customer satisfaction by investigating customer concerns and providing optimal solutions, keeping within budget constraints and warranty claims.
Implement corrective action and communication with staff, as needed
Track and respond to customer feedback

I feel that my greatest strengths, however, are those that have been gained as a result of working in many different building environments. I have the ability to establish priorities and to follow through on completing assignments. I work well with many different types of people, and I feel that I maintain excellent communication skills. I enjoy a varied and busy workload, and I learn quickly and require little or no supervision.

I am confident that you would find me a tremendous asset. I can be reached by phone at (623) 322-7551, evenings or cell phone (623) 297-6916, daytime. I look forward to hearing from you and thank you for your consideration.
