Mining Engineer Cover Letter Example

Dear Mr. Roberts,

I’m writing in response to your ad in the most recent Engineering and Mining Journal for a Mining Engineer at your Vesta Five Mine in Pennsylvania. I’ve attached my resume for your review and consideration and believe you’ll want to schedule an interview after evaluating my qualifications. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering from the University of New Mexico and a Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering from Marquette University.

In my current position at the Kennecott Copper Mine in Utah I hold the position of Senior Mining Engineer in that surface mining operation. In addition to preparing technical reports for miners other engineers and management I’ve also devised more effective methods of transporting minerals for which I’ve been awarded two patents. I’d be happy to discuss the details when we meet. As a child in Pennsylvania I remember my father going off to work in the Cole Run Mines. I would like to get back to my roots of underground mining where I can design and supervise the construction of mine shafts and ensure that the mines are safe and based on environmentally sound operations. My experience in both surface and underground mining and the technical expertise that earned me two patents will add to the already professional reputation of Vesta Five.

I look forward to your call to discuss this exciting and mutually beneficial opportunity. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,

Donald Radd
