Subject: Application: Agent de maintenance des bâtiments, [Employer], [City]
Dear [Recruiter's Name],
I am applying for the building maintenance position at [Employer]. For [x] years, I have looked after the buildings of a social housing landlord in [City], covering around [x] homes and their common areas. My role combines planned rounds in the buildings and requests that tenants send through the landlord's ticket system or by phone to the caretaker.
I handle tenant requests in plumbing, electricity and joinery, repaint common areas and prepare flats between tenants. I hold the habilitation électrique BS and I carry out monthly checks on emergency lighting and fire doors. Last winter, during a heating breakdown, I organised temporary heaters for the elderly tenants while waiting for the contractor and kept them informed until the repair was finished. I also manage the small stock of spare parts in our workshop and order supplies when needed. For lifts, boilers or roofing, I call the contracted companies, give them access and check the work before closing the ticket.
Your offer concerns schools and a sports hall, where I would bring the same reactivity. I am used to working around occupants and planning noisy work outside opening hours. I hold a driving licence and can take part in the on-call rota.
I am available for an interview and can start from [Date].
Yours sincerely,[First Name Last Name]
