I am writing to enquire as to whether there may be any employment opportunities currently available within your company.

I am an enthusiastic hard working individual, happy to turn my hand to any task and keen to develop my skills further. With 20 years experience working with cranes, heavy plant, driving HGV’s and a mechanical engineering background I am adept to working long shift patterns in challenging conditions and environments away from home. I have spent most of my life living and working in the Marine environment.

I have recently completed my Basic Offshore & Emergency Training Certificate (Opito approved) at Falck Nutek along with my Sparrows Stage 2 crane operator’s certificate. Ideally I would like to work within my trade skill area and be involved with crane operations but I am more than happy to take any opportunity open within your organisation. My current employment contract does not require any notice period so I can be available immediately.

Please find enclosed a copy of my CV, if you require any further information then please do not hesitate to contact me. I look forward to hearing from you in the near future.
