Science Technician Cover Letter Template

Dear Hiring Manager, I’ve spent the last four years in the lab making sense of data and the equipment that drives it. At [Previous Company] we ran a steady stream of samples weekly, and I managed the prep and calibration for up to 120 tests a day on average. I know what it takes to keep a small team moving when priorities shift and aims change on short notice. My day to day has been a mix of bench work, field sampling, and documentation. I handle sample collection, experimental preparation, instrument calibration, and routine quality checks. I’m comfortable with data analysis and presenting results in clear graphs and tables. I’ve also helped with map and chart creation for project reporting and ensured chemical handling and safety procedures are followed to the letter. There was a project last year where a mid project equipment fault threatened the timeline. I isolated the issue, replaced a faulty sensor, and reorganised the workflow so we could maintain sample throughput without compromising quality. The team could keep to our milestones and results were within the expected range, with significantly improved uptime and fewer interruptions to tests. I’m keen to bring this practical approach to [Company Name] as a Science Technician. I’m available for a chat to discuss how I can contribute to your lab and help keep things running smoothly. Kind regards, [Your Name]
