A no-nonsense cover letter for construction jobs. Show your trade skills, safety record and work ethic, then download a clean PDF for any contractor.
I am writing to apply for the Construction Laborer position at BuildRight Construction. I have five years of experience on residential and commercial job sites and hold an OSHA 30 card.
I have worked on framing, concrete pours, demolition and site cleanup, and I am comfortable reading plans and operating power tools, skid steers and forklifts. I show up early, follow safety rules and help keep projects on schedule.
My strengths include teamwork, physical stamina, a clean safety record and a willingness to learn new trades on the job.
Thank you for considering my application. I have attached my resume and would welcome the chance to talk about how I can help your team.
