Operating Theatre Technician Cover Letter Template

Dear Hiring Manager, I’ve worked across the theatre floor for several years, and I know the rhythm from setup to recovery. In the last role I helped prepare the theatre and anaesthetic areas for 6 to 8 cases a day, keeping the workload steady even when lists ran late. I’ve seen how small delays ripple through the schedule, so I focus on clean handovers, accurate checks, and calm problem solving to keep things moving. In this space I’m comfortable with anaesthetic workstations, life-support gear, and sterile technique. I routinely check and maintain monitors, suction units, and warming cabinets, and I’ve helped implement a quick-check routine that reduced equipment faults between cases. I’m also used to communicating clearly with the surgeon, scrub staff, and nursing team to coordinate sterile fields and readiness for the next case. One practical example is when a vapouriser alarm started during a morning list. I bookmarked the issue, swapped to backup equipment, and coordinated a safe pause while the team verified gas levels. The incident was contained without impacting the patient, and I documented the fault and resolution so the theatre team could learn from it. I’ve also significantly improved equipment tracing and return-to-service checks after cases, which cut downtime between procedures. I’m keen to discuss how my hands-on approach and reliable maintenance routines can fit [Company Name]. I’m available for a chat about how I handle the day-to-day and what I’d bring to the team at [Previous Company]. Kind regards, [Your Name]
