Administrator cover letter example
Ellie Watson, Operations Administrator · three years supporting a team of field engineers
Dear Mrs Kemp,
Your advert for an Operations Administrator asks for someone who can keep engineers’ diaries, job sheets and invoices moving without anything falling through the gaps. That is a good description of my current role, and I would like to bring it to Arden Building Services.
For the past three years I have been an administrator at a property maintenance company, supporting a team of 14 engineers. I book jobs and send the engineers their schedules each morning, chase completed job sheets and raise around 80 invoices a week in Sage 50. I also answer the main phone line, so I am used to calming a customer who is waiting for a repair.
I like making things work better. When I joined, job sheets were kept on paper and often went missing. I set up a shared spreadsheet that tracks every job from booking to invoice, and we now invoice much sooner after a job is finished. I am confident with Excel, including lookups and pivot tables, and with Outlook calendars, SharePoint and Teams.
I also cover our office manager’s inbox when she is on leave, so I am used to deciding what can wait and what cannot. I enjoy being the person a busy team can rely on. My notice period is one month, and I would welcome the chance to talk about the role.
Yours sincerely,
Ellie Watson
