Subject: Application for the roofer position
Dear Mr Perroud,
Your company is looking for a qualified roofer. I have worked on pitched roofs for eight years, on new builds and renovations, and have fitted many solar installations over the past three years.
As a qualified roofer, I work at Toitures du Chablais Sàrl, laying tile and slate roofs, underlays and insulation, and integrating photovoltaic panels. I lead a team of two and make sure collective fall protection is in place.
Your focus on energy-efficient roof renovation is the field I want to keep growing in.
I am available from 1 March and hold a category B driving licence. I would be glad to meet you.
Kind regards,
Cédric Michaud
