Facilities Manager Cover Letter Template

Dear Hiring Manager, Opening hook In my current facilities role I’ve built a reliable planning framework that keeps sites running smoothly and costs predictable. At [Previous Company] I coordinated multi-site maintenance with a clear ownership map, and we reduced unplanned downtime by a meaningful margin across eight buildings. Skills alignment I bring hands-on experience with maintenance planning, budget oversight, and contractor liaison. I’m comfortable forecasting spend, preparing financial reports, and developing rosters that reflect operational priorities. I understand the balance between safety compliance, tenant needs, and efficient running of facilities, and I’m keen to bring that approach to [Company Name]. Evidence story Last year we faced a complex renovation while keeping daily operations steady. I led a project to sequence works, negotiate with three suppliers, and align a facilities team of supervisors and trades. The result was on-time completion within budget and a noticeable improvement in system reliability, with outage events significantly reduced during the renovation window. Professional close I’m available for a discussion about how I can contribute to your facility operations and strategic planning at [Company Name]. I can fit into start of week meetings and provide a practical, steady hand in coordinating teams and reporting back on operating costs. Kind regards, [Your Name]
