Nuclear Engineer Cover Letter Sample

Dear Hiring Manager,

As a qualified Nuclear Engineer with 4 years of experience in industry and environmental consultancy settings, I apply with enthusiasm for this opportunity.

I am currently a Nuclear Engineer at environmental consultancy AdvanceSolutions, where I focus on nuclear rocket propulsion and radioisotope production system projects for global clients. Mirroring your requirements, I carry out neutron transport calculations for the design and development of reactors, support the development of core neutronics modeling and simulation tools, and perform radiation transport simulations for nuclear criticality, radiation shielding analyses, neutron activation, and radiation-induced material impact assessments. I coordinate with multi-discipline engineering and design teams through the project, and provide input for bid packages.

In addition to my experience, I hold a Bachelor of Nuclear Engineering and a Professional Engineer’s License (PE). I possess strong project management and client relationship skills, alongside deep familiarity with regulations and environmental permitting. I am highly proficient in programs and tools such as CAD systems, MCCARD, MCNP, SCALE, and Geant4.

I have enjoyed my time at AdvanceSolutions. As the majority of our clients intend to slash budgets for the next 2-3 years due to the pandemic, I now seek another opportunity to have a meaningful impact on the direction of pioneering projects.

Please find attached my résumé for your consideration. Thank you very much for your time. I look forward to hearing from you regarding next steps.

Yours sincerely,

Marc Parker
