I'm writing to apply for the Civil Engineer position at [Company]. As a licensed PE with 6 years of experience in infrastructure design, I bring technical expertise and project management skills to deliver projects on time and within budget.
At Infrastructure Partners, I've managed the design of transportation projects totaling $25M in construction value.
