Telecommunications Network Engineer Cover Letter Template

Dear Hiring Manager, Opening hook In my time as a network engineer I’ve seen how small configuration tweaks can unlock big performance gains. At my current role I helped design and roll out a mid-band backhaul upgrade across 15 sites, which reduced latency by 22% and improved packet loss handling during peak periods. I’m looking to bring that practical, hands on approach to [Company Name] and help deliver stable, scalable networks. Skills alignment I’ve built and configured a range of devices from core routers to edge switches, and I’ve led site commissioning and test runs to verify interoperability with multiple vendors. I’ve worked on regulatory compliance checks, capacity planning, and performance optimisation to minimise outages. I’m comfortable drafting project proposals and helping steer procurement discussions to ensure we get the right hardware and software configurations for the network needs. Evidence story At [Previous Company] I led a small team through a complex site expansion that involved new drawings, site acquisition coordination, and a full device configuration handover. We cut commissioning time by 40 hours per site and significantly improved onboarding of new equipment into the NMS. The project required close collaboration with vendors to ensure interoperability and a clear test plan that caught issues before go live. Professional close I’d be glad to discuss how my hands on experience aligns with the role at [Company Name]. I’m available for a chat at your convenience to talk through next steps. Kind regards, [Your Name]
