Dear Hiring Manager:

My name is Andrii Iarmolenko, and I am a third-year mechanical engineering student at The City College of New York. I am very interested in pursuing an internship opportunity at Syska Hennesey Group, which I found on LinkedIn. The engineers at Syska Hennesy Group create amazing projects, and I am inspired to apply for this position. My extensive work experience, laboratory research, knowledge of AutoCAD and MatLab, and engineering internship have prepared me for this role, and I hope to have the opportunity to schedule an interview with you.

As an immigrant, I have held various jobs, including working as a plumber in a construction company for two years. This experience equipped me with valuable skills such as reading construction plans, teamwork, and organizing job sites efficiently.

During my time at CCNY and BMCC, I participated in several engineering internships. I conducted research in the engineering department on conductive concrete, which involved developing prototypes in AutoCAD, creating samples, and organizing data using Microsoft Excel. This experience enhanced my understanding of prototyping and 3D printing. Currently, I am part of the NSF-REU research internship, where I am working on advancing laser radar technology for agriculture. This role has provided me with hands-on experience in testing and improving laser radar setups in the laboratory at CCNY. During the internship, I gained experience working with MatLab and LabView to do calculations and control laboratory experiments.

I am enthusiastic about the opportunity to bring my research experience and passion for innovation to Syska Hennessy Group. I am confident that my background in developing advanced materials, along with my strong problem-solving skills and eagerness to learn, would make me a valuable addition to your team. I am keen on contributing to your projects and further developing my engineering skills through this internship. Thank you for considering my application. I am available for an interview and can be reached by phone at (347) 417-6511 or via email at [email protected]. I would welcome the opportunity to discuss how I can contribute to your firm’s success.

Sincerely,

Andrii Iarmolenko
