Construction Rigger Cover Letter Template

Dear Hiring Manager, I’ve spent the past eight years getting our sites up and running without missing a beat, and I’ve learned to read the rig floor like a map. At my last job I helped oversee a 150 metre lift of scaffolding sections and guard rails, keeping it on schedule and well within safety margins. I’m drawn to your [Company Name] project because I know a steady hand and practical approach matter more than clever talk when the gear is loaded. I bring solid hands on rigging experience, including assembling and installing lifting tackles, handling slinging gear, and setting up scaffolding bases and safety nets. I’m comfortable reading load plans, attaching counterweights, and using clamps, hooks, bolts and knots to tighten up gear on site. I’ve worked with technicians to lay planks, clear work areas and position sections with precision, all while keeping safety as the priority. A memorable shift involved a tight window to reconfigure a temporary lifting frame after an unexpected ground settlement. I coordinated with the crane operator and riggers, reattached sling gear, recalibrated rigging points, and went through a quick safety check to prevent any hiccups. We completed the task ahead of the next phase, and the site stayed compliant with our internal standards. I’m available for a chat about how my hands on approach and practical rigging know how can support your team on [Company Name] projects. I can drop by for a quick briefing or a site walk through when convenient. Kind regards, [Your Name]
