Subject: Application for the metalworker position
Dear Sir or Madam,
Your listing for a metalworker caught my interest right away: Métal Concept SA makes bespoke staircases and railings, the part of the trade I enjoy most.
As a qualified metalworker, I have worked at Serrurerie Brönnimann Sàrl since 2019. I fabricate steel and stainless staircases, balconies and gates in the workshop, weld MAG and TIG, and install on site with a colleague. I hold an aerial work platform licence.
The quality of your architectural work, which I have seen on several recent buildings in the region, makes me want to work with you.
I am available from 1 April and would be glad to meet you.
Kind regards,
Loïc Vuilleumier
