Dear Hiring Manager,
I am writing to apply for the position of Estimating Manager at ABC Corp. With my extensive experience in commercial construction estimating, I believe I am an excellent candidate for the job and would be a valuable addition to your team.
For the past five years, I have worked as an Estimator in the construction industry. In this role, I was responsible for developing detailed estimates from structural and architectural drawings and specifications, accurately pricing out materials and labor costs to meet project budgets while adhering to company guidelines. My attention to detail enabled me to consistently deliver high-quality results that allowed projects to come in on time and within budget.
In addition, I have been trained in Pro Est software which has enabled me to quickly analyze project specifications and create detailed, accurate estimates. My knowledge of the engineering process also allows me to accurately interpret drawings and determine potential problem areas before construction begins. Furthermore, my excellent communication skills enable me to effectively liaise with project managers and other stakeholders to ensure open dialogue between all parties.
I am confident that I would make a great Estimating Manager for the ABC Corp team. I look forward to discussing my qualifications in more detail during an interview. Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Your Name
