Carpenter and Joiner Cover Letter Template

Dear Hiring Manager, I’m applying for the Carpenter and Joiner role at [Company Name] because I’ve spent the last decade turning plans into solid, well finished structures. In my last job I worked on site and in workshop, shaping timber and fixing fixtures to a high standard. A recent project involved building solid timber stairs and handrails that needed precise accuracy within 2 mm over a 4 m run. I’m practical and reliable on tasks from blueprint interpretation to final fitting. I have strong experience reading drawings, estimating timber needs and setting up machines for accurate cuts. I work with hand tools and machines to shape timber, install cabinets and door frames, and finish surfaces with appropriate coatings. I’m comfortable operating equipment and adhering to safety guidelines while keeping work progressing on schedule. At [Previous Company] I helped erect simple wall frames and supported roof systems using scaffolding and ladders. I routinely checked dimensions against plans, chose the right timber grade, and installed hardware such as hinges and handles. I’ve also completed finishing tasks like staining and varnishing to surface expectations and conducted quality checks to keep rework to a minimum. I’m keen to discuss how I can contribute to your team and bring consistent results on project timelines. I am available for a conversation at your convenience. Kind regards, [Your Name]
