Environmental Scientist Cover Letter Template

Dear Hiring Manager, I recently worked on a coastal habitat assessment where I helped map wetlands and estuaries for an upcoming development. The team relied on fine-scale GPS data and drone imagery to identify habitat value and potential impact. In that project the core finding was that targeted protection of three key wetland patches significantly improved biodiversity indicators and reduced predicted erosion by around 15 percent over five years. I want to bring that practical, field-focused approach to [Company Name]. My background aligns with habitat and wildlife needs, environmental monitoring, and biodiversity management. I’m comfortable conducting Environmental Impact Assessments and helping translate science into policy and planning steps. I can contribute to data collection and analysis, establish monitoring programmes, and work with stakeholders to implement conservation policies. I’m used to using standard pollution control frameworks and designing straightforward, evidence-based solutions. In my role at [Previous Company], I led a small team through a large biodiversity inventory and a habitat rehabilitation project after disturbance from mining. We used standard field surveys, camera traps, and vegetation plots to document species presence and condition. The work informed management decisions and helped tighten site restoration timelines. The project kept us aligned with regulatory requirements and showed clear improvements in habitat condition and compliance metrics. I’m available to discuss how my practical experience can support [Company Name] in evaluating habitat and wildlife needs, and in developing short and long term management goals. I’m happy to connect and talk through how we might approach upcoming assessments and policy development. Kind regards, [Your Name]
