Joe Briggs
Hortiplan PO Box 9999 Taskerville WA

Dear Mr Briggs Re: Senior Engineer position I am writing to apply for the position of Senior Project Controls Engineer at Hortiplan as advertised in Engineers Weekly. I am a qualified engineer with a background spanning many specialities over a period of approximately 11 years. I achieved Professional Engineer Status from Engineers Australia in 1997 and have been the secretary of the Institute of Materials Engineering Australasia since 2003. Working in project controls for Myer and Sons for the last eight years, I have worked on many projects including: the Hodgepin Bridge, Taskertown subway network, several apartment projects, the Clarity Mine project, the Taskertown police communications project and the Tericote project.

In a managerial capacity, I have a proven track record of delivering projects to budget and time requirements, trouble shooting, organising the team for maximum efficiency and gaining excellent client feedback. I would like to have the opportunity to further utilise my expertise in the mining sector, and I believe I have a lot to offer to Hotriplans proposed project. I have extensive experience using Primavera, MS Project, Excel and use of P3 and P3e for planning and project controls. I have superior people management skills and excellent communication and organisational skills. Please let me know if you would like more information about my projects. I look forward to discussing my suitability for this role in person Yours sincerely [sign here] Charlie Chase

Richard Stevens 523 Jones Road Brisbane Qld 4000 T: (07) 3822 1111 M: 0406 246 246 E: rstevens@email.com [date] Ms Abigail Lawton Chief Executive Officer Clever Engineering Ltd Westview Road Brisbane Qld 4000

Dear Ms Lawton Re: Director of Electrical Systems, REF564 Please accept this letter and the accompanying resume as my application for the above position advertised on SEEK.com. I have over 17 years experience working as an electrical engineer during which time I have honed my expertise in automated test systems and used it to the advantage of the companies I have worked for. Since graduating in 1989, I have played a significant role in increasing my employers' profitability by improving the efficiency and safety aspects of the many products I have worked on. For example, I have saved my current employer over $23 million. Completing an MBA in 1991 helped develop my skills in managing projects and people, and my success as Chief Standards Engineer, and subsequent promotion to Chief R&D Engineer, for Advanced Technologies demonstrates that I am able to foster good working relationships with employees and develop stimulating working environments resulting in the successful completion of projects. I have also completed professional development courses in people management which would be invaluable in the position of Director of Electrical Systems. I have received training in ISO 9001 engineering procedures and implemented and enforced these procedures at Advanced Technologies. The procedures are still successfully applied in all of Advanced Technologies' operations today. I look forward to the opportunity of putting this knowledge and experience to good use as director of Clever Engineering's electrical systems.

I have been a member of Engineers Australia firstly as a student engineer and as a full member after I achieved Chartered Engineer status in 2001. I have been a member of both APESMA and the Australian Institute of Management for over 15 years. I believe these memberships enhance my technical and personal skills as an engineer as my membership helps me sustain existing and new professional relationships and provides plenty of opportunities for professional development. I am excited about the chance of working for Clever Engineering as I have admired the company since I first started studying electrical engineering. I am very interested in being involved in the production of your market-leading products, particularly the new energy efficient systems that were released at the beginning of 2008. I look forward to the opportunity of discussing my application with you further at interview and how I can significantly contribute to the ongoing success of Clever Engineering.
