How to structure it
Opening
Name the role and, in one line, the strongest reason you're a fit. Skip the throat-clearing.
Middle
One or two paragraphs of real, specific evidence: what you did, and the result. This is where most letters go generic. Yours shouldn't.
Why this employer
One genuine, specific reason you want this job at this company, not any company. Vague enthusiasm reads as a template that wasn't customised.
Close
Thank them, note your resume is attached, and make it easy to reach you.
Re: Application for Facilities Administrator
I am applying for the Facilities Administrator role at [Company Name]. With hands-on experience coordinating maintenance, contractors and compliance records across multi-site workplaces, I can step into the day to day running of your buildings and keep the administrative side moving.
In my current role I look after the CMMS and compliance calendar for a portfolio of 12 buildings. I rebuilt the asset register and preventive maintenance schedule so that essential services checks were booked a quarter ahead rather than chased after the due date. That brought overdue compliance items down from around 30 to zero within two quarters and stopped the after-hours callouts that came with late bookings. I also process the related purchase orders and invoices, so I understand how maintenance activity flows into the facilities budget.
I want to work for [Company Name] because [add one genuine, specific reason: a project, value, or market position you can point to]. I am looking for a facilities team where I can take ownership of the administrative systems and contribute to a safe, well-run workplace.
Thank you for considering my application. My resume is attached, and I would welcome the chance to discuss how I can support your facilities operations.
Getting it right
- Keep it to one page. A hiring manager spends seconds on this before deciding whether to read your resume.
- Address a named person where you can find one, rather than "To Whom It May Concern".
- Don't repeat your resume line for line. Use the letter to add context a bullet point can't: why this role, why now, why here.
- Match the tone of the job ad. A formal listing calls for a formal letter; a casual one gives you room to write more like yourself.
This is a starting point, not a guarantee of interviews. Make it specific to the actual employer before you send it.
