Driller Cover Letter Template

Dear Hiring Manager, I’ve spent the last five years working on shift work with heavy rigs, fixing things as they break and keeping operations moving when the clock is ticking. At [Previous Company], I helped dismantle and reassemble rigs with minimal down time, and I know the beats of setting up equipment, lubricating bearings, and keeping the plant clean. In one season, I documented a 20% reduction in non‑productive time by tightening routine checks and better gap management between tasks. I’m comfortable with rig assembly and disassembly, sampling techniques, and packaging samples for transport. I also keep clear logs and performance notes, and I’m comfortable with basic maintenance tasks, lubrication scheduling, and minor fixes on site. I’m keen to bring a steady, methodical approach to [Company Name], and I like the idea of contributing to consistent, safe operations. There was a shift when we moved to a new ore body and had to adjust sampling routines on the fly, which meant tighter data recording and more precise well performance notes. I worked through the changes with the team, kept the logbooks up to date, and ensured the samples were packaged correctly for the lab. The result was more reliable data for the geologists and fewer rework calls to the field. I’m available to discuss how I can fit into your crew at [Company Name]. If you’d like to chat, I can drop by the site or catch up over a call to go through the specifics. Kind regards, [Your Name]
