I am a 24-year-old male looking for the best opportunity to kick-start my engineering journey. I have obtained a Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering but haven’t yet had the right experiences to secure a role in the industry. I’m actively seeking ways to gain more hands-on knowledge and experience to help me succeed in my career. This opportunity would be a perfect step forward for me. I aspire to become a mechanical engineer who can tackle any machine-related problem with confidence and precision. I’m also open to paths in fabrication or vehicle engineering. I am enthusiastic, energetic, and passionate about learning. I enjoy playing sports and staying physically active. I hope you see me as a strong fit for this role, and I appreciate your time and consideration.
I would like to express my interest in a trade apprenticeship opportunity within the engineering industry. I'm a motivated and reliable individual with hands-on experience, a strong work ethic, and a genuine passion for working with tools and machines. I've completed NCEA Level 2 and earned 40 credits toward Level 3. I'm currently working full-time as a screen printer and DTF printer, where I've developed focus, consistency, and workplace responsibility. In my spare time, l've gained practical mechanical experience by working on cars — including paid jobs - which has grown my confidence in using a wide range of tools, including sockets, impact wrenches, and drills. What sets me apart is my dedication and eagerness to learn. I take pride in being reliable, showing up on time, and always giving 100% to the task at hand. I'm keen to build a long-term career in the trades, and I'm particularly drawn to automotive, mechanical, or electrical work because I enjoy problem-solving and working with my hands. I would welcome the chance to bring my passion and reliability to your team and grow under the guidance of experienced professionals. Thank you for considering my application.
