Metal Casting Trades Worker Cover Letter Template

Dear Hiring Manager, I’ve spent the last several years hands-on with metal casting, solving practical problems at the source rather than from a desk. At my current shop I helped stabilise furnace operation during a peak season, extracting a 15% efficiency gain by tweaking pour timing and lamp heat settings. I’m aiming to bring that same level of focus to [Company Name], where precise stock selection and solid process control matter for consistent casts. I’m comfortable with both hand tools and presses, and I’ve worked moulds, cores and refractory coatings as part of daily duties. I can read pattern books, help position cores, and ensure the moulds are set correctly. My day-to-day includes sand filling, trimming, and finishing to tolerances, plus tempering and hardening finished pieces when required. I’m keen to contribute to a team that values reliable, carry-through work over flashy promises. In a recent project at [Previous Company], we faced variable alloy quality and a backlog of pours. I helped adjust the preheat schedule and refined the core setting process, which significantly improved first-pass yield and cut rework. I’ll bring that same practical approach to [Company Name], keeping supervision light and focus on solid, consistent results that the shop can rely on. I’m available to chat about how I can fit into your casting team. If you’d like to arrange a time, I can be reached by phone or email and I’m happy to provide references. Kind regards, [Your Name]
