Hardware Technician Cover Letter Template

Dear Hiring Manager, I recently fixed a stubborn fault in a mixed fleet of desktops and embedded systems, and it reminded me how practical, hands‑on work keeps things moving. At a glance, a simple hardware fault can snowball into software delays and support queues. In my last role I helped cut downtime by tracking fault patterns and applying targeted fixes to tests rigs and field units, including a batch of 40 machines in one quarter. I’m keen to bring that pragmatic approach to [Company Name]. I’m comfortable with hardware installation and configuration, plus the software side that sits on top of it. I’ve supported network setup and peripheral replacement, and I routinely adjust configurations to suit user needs. I’ve worked closely with ICT teams on equipment deployment, asset tracking, and keeping documentation up to date, so colleagues know what to expect when a device is swapped or updated. One memorable example involved a failed replacement drive in a laboratory’s workstations cluster. I diagnosed a compatibility issue, swapped to a validated drive model, and reimaged 32 machines over a weekend without interrupting key tests. The team reported the setup was more reliable, and support calls dropped significantly after the fix. I document each step so the next time we hit a similar fault, the resolution is quicker. I’m available for a chat about how I can contribute to [Company Name]. If you’d like to discuss timing and fit, I can come in for a quick interview or join a call this week. Kind regards, [Your Name]
