Sending an application to the employers without appending it with a cover letter shows unprofessionalism and should be avoided if you want to get immediate response from the employers. Cover letters have become an integral part of your job search and they are definitely targeted at getting an interview call from the employer and not a job. You should consider drafting your cover letter by reading the requirements specified by the employer in the advertisement. Give equal importance to all the requirements specified by the recruiter and include each one of them in your letter. This pipefitter cover letter will help you in writing your cover letter.
Job Description for a Pipe Fitter:
Pipefitters help in installation and maintenance of all kinds of pipes in big factories and manufacturing industries. Their responsibilities are same as the plumbers but they need to have expertise in their work as they work in the power plants, explosive manufacturers industries, etc. where there is requirement of perfection. Any manually induced faults while fitting the pipes can cost a lot for the company. They should have the ability to interpret technical designs made by the civil designers and implement them properly using various plumbing tools. Possessing sound technical knowledge will help them in problem solving and finding out small technical defects in the designs made by the layout designers. Installation of the switches and gauges that are used in operating the machines is also a responsibility of the pipefitters. They should also look at the safety issues and provide instructions to the users.
We have provided here a sample pipefitter cover letter as a prospecting cover letter that requests information regarding vacancy for the position. You can use the same format of the cover letter and draft an application cover letter.
