COVER LETTER

Dear Hiring Manager


I am writing to express my interest in the Graduate Construction Management position, as advertised. With a recent 2:1 degree in Construction Management from London South Bank University and five years of leadership and operations experience in high-performing retail environments, I bring a unique combination of academic knowledge and practical management expertise to this role.


During my degree, I gained a solid understanding of construction processes, project management principles, and health and safety regulations. My final year project, which explored the Health and Safety Implications of Steel Fibre Reinforced Concrete (SFRC) in UK Construction, further enhanced my analytical and research skills in real-world construction contexts.


In my previous role as a Supervisor at JD Sports, I successfully led teams, managed stock and resources, and ensured compliance with operational standards. This experience has strengthened my communication, organisation, and problem-solving skills – all of which I am eager to transfer to the construction sector.


I am motivated by commitment to delivering impactful infrastructure and sustainability-focused projects. I am particularly drawn to the emphasis on professional development and leadership pathways within your Graduate Programme, which aligns closely with my career goals.


I would welcome the opportunity to further discuss how I can contribute to your team. Thank you for considering my application.


Yours sincerely

Jose Soria
