Welder Cover Letter Example

I weld carbon steel and stainless process pipe from 2 to 24 inches for an energy services fabricator in Baton Rouge, running GTAW root passes with SMAW fill and cap to ASME Section IX procedures. I'm applying for your Welder opening because the posting's mix of pipe and structural welding code work matches exactly the scope I already run day to day.

I've passed 99.4% of more than 2,300 X-rayed and UT-tested joints over the past two years, with zero repairs on stainless GTAW work, and I qualified 6G on chrome-moly within four months of hire, joining the five-welder crew that handles the shop's high-pressure boiler work. When fitters run short-handed, I fit and tack spools from isometric drawings myself, keeping the fabrication line at more than 40 spools a week.

I hold AWS certification in SMAW and GTAW at the 6G position on carbon steel pipe, plus AWS D1.1 qualification on FCAW and GMAW plate in all positions, and current confined space entry training. I maintain torch, purge and consumable logs that have passed every third-party audit without a finding.

I'd like to bring that same pass rate and code range to [Fabrication or energy services company name]. I'm available for an interview and can weld a test coupon whenever it suits your schedule.
