If there is one thing, I am certain of it’s my love of Construction. Over the past few years, I have been able to solidify my role as an increasingly more qualified Quantity Surveyor. As a Quantity Surveyor, holding a Bachelor’s degree in Quantity Surveying, I have a well-rounded educational background. I am also aware that education is not just about degrees. This is why I have taken pride in each job I’ve held and ensured that I give it my all.

Joining your organization as Construction Estimator would allow me to utilize my existing skill set while pushing me to develop new ones. I know that your firm is fast-paced and that Construction Estimators are required to multitask many projects simultaneously. Thanks to Thirteen years of experience in quantity surveying, mainly in the middle east I can confidently assert that I would be able to fulfil the requirements of a construction estimator in your organization.

My research found many good things about your organization. I am enthused about the possibility to join your team and hope you will consider me.

I’d love to speak to you about how I would be a good fit as a Construction Estimator on your team. I am available for an interview at your earliest convenience as well as available to answer any questions you may have regarding my resume or cover letter. Thank you for your time. I hope to hear from you soon.

Sincerely,

Charith Eranda
