Project Manager Cover Letter Template

Dear Hiring Manager, I’ve spent the last eight years organising multi-discipline build projects and keeping complex timelines on track. In my last role I managed programmes across sites with up to 15 trades, and I helped bring a project under budget by 8 percent through careful sequencing and material planning. I’ve worked with Architects and Engineers to interpret drawings and ensure the team's output matches the spec, and I’m comfortable rolling up sleeves when a plan needs adjusting. I see [Company Name] is looking for a hands-on PM who can coordinate labour, procurement and inspections. I bring solid experience coordinating labour resources and procuring materials, plus a practical approach to compliance with building regulations and safety standards. I’m familiar with submitting plans to local authorities and managing subcontracts, while keeping stakeholders informed and aligned on milestones. One example from [Previous Company] stands out. We faced a tight window for the structural phase, so I coordinated crane access, sequencing of trades and a revised delivery plan with suppliers. By keeping daily check-ins short and factual, we avoided delays and ensured the site met critical inspection dates. The team felt supported, and the client appreciated the transparent progress updates. I’m available to discuss how I can contribute to your project teams and keep momentum on the programme. If you’d like to talk, I can be reached at your convenience. Kind regards, [Your Name]
