Metal Fitter Cover Letter Template

Dear Hiring Manager, I recently worked on a project where a tight tolerance was needed across a subassembly for a production line. While interpreting drawings and specs, I found a misalignment in the first mock-up and adjusted the setup so the components sat correctly with minimal rework. The work was done with a steady hand and tools I trust, like digital calipers and height gauges, and we hit the target tolerance on the second pass. I’m comfortable with fabricating metal parts, setting up and adjusting machining tools, and assembling subassemblies to spec. I also routinely inspect parts for fit and tolerance and can set guides and stops on lathes and mills to ensure consistency. I’ve worked with hydraulic and pneumatic piping as part of integrating fluid power sections, and I pay attention to finish and alignment so the whole system stays reliable. A good story from my time at [Previous Company] shows the value of practical problem solving. When a hydraulic manifold wouldn’t seal correctly, I traced the issue to a small misfit in a cast face. I reworked the mating surface and reassembled it, significantly improving the seal integrity and reducing downtime by a full shift. It was about steady, careful work and staying with the problem until it was right. I’m looking to bring the same approach to [Company Name]. I’m available for a chat to discuss how I can support on-site erection, maintenance, and ongoing fault diagnosis. Kind regards, [Your Name]
