Dear Sir / Madam
This cover letter summarizes some of my skills and qualifications.
I can offer you:
Solid Development Experience: I successfully developed a model that uses GIS / DSS to Generate, Rank and Evaluate different proposed routes for oil pipeline for Focus Corporation and five partners group (Alberta Sustainable Resources Development, Ducks Unlimited, CWS, U of A, and Al-Pac). Also I worked as a research assistant for the City of Niagara Falls in Infrastructure Management System (IMS) and web based GIS mapping project. This project included using AutoDesk Map Guide, Data conversion, digitizing and rubber–sheeting of the existing infrastructure data of the city (water network, sewers and roads) and linked them with the city's geographic database (Oracle).
Professional Qualification: I bring a diverse academic background which combines both the technical and theoretical aspects. It included an advanced GIS education, as I hold a Master and a Diploma in GIS backed with B.Sc. in Civil Engineering. Solid working experience with various projections, datum and grid systems including lat/long, NTS, FPS and DLS.
Strong Professional Experience: I have an extensive Geomatics experience gained from working in different international engineering companies. Projects included such as the land development project in 1995 for a 63 residential complex, and the Tourist Resort 1997 included 65 time share units and luxuries villas both projects involved the planning and execution of all the infra structure facilities.
I am genuinely interested in any GIS / Remote Sensing position in the Oil & Gas industry for engineering company locally or internationally. Working in such company comes highly recommended to me as it has a high potential to develop my GIS skills based on my engineering background.
Profile:
A GIS Professional with an excellent background in Geomatic and engineering work experience. 7 years experience as a Civil Engineer which included projects planning budget and site management, and gained extensive Geomatic experience working through various international engineering companies. Experience included pipeline route planning utilizing GIS and DSS, land use detection studies utilizing GIS and RS data and advanced remote sensing research using Airphotos, Thermal, Multispectral and Hyperspectral image analysis.
