re: Supervisor


Dear Mr Mark Brown


While working I was happy to find out about the role of supervisor job at Stallion Construction coming up in January.

I believe the role reports to me.


I have over 20+ years in the construction industry. My most recent role was at cooks home improvement. Where i bid jobs,

worked and or over seen the job being done. I've enjoyed my time here but i am actively seeking a new challenge.


I was thrilled to see an opportunity to join your team for several reasons. Firstly, the role would allow me to continue pursuing my passion. Over seeing bigger projects being done and helping them get done in a timely manner. 

Secondly, I personally identify with Stallion Construction's core values. I share the belief that Quality over all else is key.

I try to keep the quality of my work at the top level at all times and i feel that y'all do the same and which makes me want to join even more.

Last but not least, I would be honored to contribute to an organization that has the same values as my self and hope i can bring more Quality to your company.


With a proven track record in the Construction field i know i can confidently execute on supervising any job put in front of me. I am great with other contractors and know a lot of them which helps. I am always on time, I will help anyone if needed to get the job done on time and with the quality we are looking for. I always look for bigger and challenging things to keep me learning and keep me on my feet. I feel that my broad experience in the construction industry combined with my expert ability to talk and help others would make me a valuable contribution to your company. 



I look forward to hearing from you at your earliest convenience.


Sincerely,

joshua cook
