Summary
To Whom It May Concern,
My name is Luke Kiely, and I’m a 31-year-old civil construction professional based in Bundoora. I came across your advertisement with great interest, as I am currently seeking a new opportunity to apply my skills, experience, and passion in a dynamic, rewarding environment.
With over 10 years of hands-on experience in civil construction—particularly in water, stormwater, and sewer infrastructure—I bring a strong work ethic, reliability, and a respectful attitude to every project. My background includes operating a wide range of machinery, including excavators (1.8 to 35 tonnes), front-end loaders, backhoes, articulated haul trucks, and skid steers.
I hold several industry-recognized certifications, including:
- Confined Space Certification.
- Certificate III in Civil Construction.
- Trench Support Installation Certification.
- All required machinery tickets.
In addition, I’ve gained valuable experience in sewer and water maintenance, where I developed a solid understanding of testing and maintaining systems in both new and aging developments. A particular point of pride is having completed my Certificate III in Civil Construction, a qualification I know adds further strength to my technical capabilities.
While I’ve thoroughly enjoyed my journey in this field, I’m ready for a new direction—one where I can broaden my experience and make meaningful contributions in a different capacity. I’m confident in my practical knowledge, strong work ethic, and passion for work that needs to be done.
Hardworking, fit, and ready for a new adventure in a different industry. I’ve spent years doing hands-on work, and I’m keen to learn something new, take on fresh challenges, and grow in a new direction. I’m reliable, a quick learner, and always ready to pitch in and get the job done right.
Kind regards,
Luke Kiely
