Metallurgical Engineer Resume Cover Letter

A metallurgical engineer cover letter should showcase the candidate's knowledge of physical and chemical characteristics of metallic elements, their inter-metallic compounds and alloys to be applied in the process of metalworking and other practical uses of metals. If you are well aware of technologies like archeometallurgy, carbonyl metallurgy, pyrometallurgy and cupellation, do not forget to include the information for it will only serve as an added advantage.

Sub: Job application for the position of Sr. Engineer - Metalworking Research

Dear Mr. Rucker,

In response to your advertisement for a job vacancy that was published in US mail dated November 22nd, I hereby extend my application for the position of Sr. Engineer within your institute. I have graduated in Metallurgical Engineering from the Manhattan State College in July 2010, and have been working for a little over 2 years in Dillon-Huer Metal Laboratories as a Metallurgical Engineer.

Throughout my stay in Dillon-Huer, I acquired and constantly developed my skills in metalworking and metallurgical failure analysis to achieve perfect balance between the properties of materials/products and their performance in temperature extremes. I have been involved in the production of metallic components and alloys for consumer and industrial use, studying innovative measures for cutting down the cost of manufacturing alloys and their surface treatments and evaluating material performance and deterioration.

Besides, I have also been engaged in the process of testing metals and their alloys to ensure the prescribed engineering and industrial standards using testing equipment such as electron microscopes, emission spectrographs and heat treatment furnaces. I am also well aware of various metalworking technologies such as flow forming, machining, fabrication, cold working processes, sand casting, die casting, investment casting and continuous casting.

Upon being given an opportunity to serve the institute, I vow to utilize the unique blend of metallurgical skills along with essential transferable skills to carry out my role effectively thereby contributing to the institute's research and development process.

Please find attached my resume and you may contact me anytime in order to discuss my application in detail.

I must say I am looking forward to becoming a part of your research and development team and use the opportunity to excel in the field of metallurgy.

Thanking you.

Yours sincerely,

Emily Aikens
