Welder Cover Letter Template

Dear Hiring Manager, I’ve spent the last several years working across fabrication shops where accuracy and consistency matter every shift. In my current role I’ve cut and joined dozens of panels per week, and I’ve relied on blueprints and gauges to keep tolerances tight. When a project demanded tighter fit on a high-pressure line, I helped identify a solution that reduced rework by a noticeable margin, using basic measuring tools and a careful approach to alignment on the jig. I’m comfortable reading drawings, selecting and preparing metal stock, and choosing the best welding technique for the job. I’ve routinely checked bead width and penetration during welds, and I’ve cleaned and finished welds to spec, using files and grinders as needed. I work with hand and power tools, and I’m precise with measuring and marking metal so parts line up correctly before I weld. One example sticks with me from a recent job at [Previous Company]. We had several sections that didn’t line up after a mock assembly, so I re-seated the components and rechecked the alignment using a ruler and calipers. The revised setup cut rejection rates and significantly improved overall fit, which helped the team stay on schedule on a medium-size project for [Company Name]. I prefer thorough, practical steps over rushing to finish. I’m keen to discuss how I can contribute at [Company Name]. I’m available for a chat or a site visit any time this week and next. Kind regards, [Your Name]
