Subject: Application for the truck mechanic position
Dear Mr Tornay,
Your truck garage is looking for a mechatronics technician for its workshop. I have maintained trucks and coaches for seven years and want to join a workshop that serves regional fleets.
With a federal certificate in commercial vehicle mechatronics, I work at Utilitaires du Rhône SA, carrying out services, electronic diagnostics, brake and hydraulic repairs and test preparation. I hold a C licence and do breakdown on-call one week a month.
Your customers among local hauliers and construction firms offer the range of vehicles I am looking for.
I am available from 1 March and would gladly come in for a trial day.
Kind regards,
Jérémie Theytaz
