Dear Hiring Manager, I’ve built solid practical experience in laying and finishing roads, with a focus on getting a smooth base and proper edge treatment. In my last job, I helped prepare a 2.5 kilometre stretch by sweeping the base, applying hot and cold-mix asphalt, and then distributing the mix with a truck-mounted unit. The team relied on steady hands and clear communication to keep things moving safely and on schedule. I understand the day-to-day needs of this role, from directing traffic and erecting barricades to loading gear and cleaning the site. I’m comfortable operating asphalt distributors, hand tampers, and the equipment needed for compacting the mix. I’ve also spent time cutting and trimming damaged surfaces and softening edges where needed to keep the line true and the finish neat. One practical example from [Previous Company] covers a mid‑season resurfacing project where we had to manage tight access points. I swept the base, loaded and moved equipment, and used a blowtorch to soften edges in tricky corners. The team finished ahead of schedule, and the patchwork held up well after the first rain. Significantly improved efficiency came from keeping the truck mixer fed and coordinating with the machine operators. I’m keen to bring steady, no‑nonsense hands-on work to [Company Name]. I’m available for a chat about how I can fit into the crew and help hit the project timelines. Kind regards, [Your Name]
