2. Estimator cover letter sample 1
Dear Mr Jackson
I am interested in speaking with you regarding an Estimator position with Gilbane Building
as advertised in The News on Sunday. I am positive that my experience and skills in
calculating and organizing individual cost items will prove to be a huge contribution to
your company.
Since I have worked as an Estimator in several settings, I possess the handiness that is
needed in order to read and understand job bid instructions and other detailed
specifications. My experience has taught me how to exercise good judgment with
purchasing, labor and transportation costs. Additionally, I am competent enough to be
able to determine appropriate profit margins when making estimates in order to meet the
company’s goal. My degree in mathematics is a huge help when calculating and managing
discounts, profits and commissions. The fact that I have worked extensively in this line of
work will ensure a substantial contribution when creating cost monitoring processes for
any company that I work for.
As an experienced and passionate Estimator, I would like to secure an opportunity to meet
with you and discuss my qualifications further. I will call the HR department after one
week in order to set up an appointment and will be available at (222) 222-2222 in the
meantime. Thank you for considering my application for this opportunity.
