Crossing Supervisor Cover Letter Template

Dear Hiring Manager, I’ve spent the last six years supervising pedestrian crossings around busy school sites and suburban streets, and I know how small delays can cascade into bigger risks. On a typical shift I’ve reduced near misses by coordinating with school staff and traffic controllers, using a clear hand signal routine and reviewing the day’s risk checks. The most important part is keeping pedestrians moving safely and calmly, especially during peak times when queues stretch for metres. I’m comfortable with the core duties of a Crossing Supervisor, including stopping traffic to facilitate crossings, escorting children and elderly pedestrians, and re-establishing flow once crossing is complete. I focus on clear communication with drivers, visibility through proper PPE, and constant situational awareness. I’ve used standard checklists and local traffic plans to adapt quickly to changing conditions while keeping the pace steady and predictable. One example stands out from my time at [Previous Company]. A sudden weather change caused slippery surfaces and confused drivers near a school zone. I adjusted the crossing protocol, communicated the revised plan to teachers and parents, and coordinated with the local council to place temporary signage. We maintained safe crossing flow and pedestrians were on their way within minutes, with no incidents and a noticeable drop in driver hesitation. I’m keen to bring that practical approach to [Company Name]. I’m available for a chat about how we can structure the crossing times to suit your site and reassure families and staff. I can start with a handover this week if that works. Kind regards, [Your Name]
