Ministry of Infrastructure, Housing and Urban Development

United Nations Avenue, Lusaka.

Dear Sir/Madam,

REF: APPLICATION FOR A CIVIL ENGINEERING ROLE UNDER YOUR MINISTRY

With reference to the above captioned subject matter, I wish to express my interest in taking up a
civil engineering role under your ministry.

I am a goal driven professional possessing vast experience in land and quantity surveying, building
and road construction works, and project management with cost planning and control. I acquired the
aforementioned expertise while working for Road Development Agency and Nkana Water and
Sewerage Company as an intern, and from my current role as a civil engineer under Zambia
Correctional Service.

As an ambitious and capable individual, I have also gained expertise in policy analysis and research
during my working tenure as an Assistant Researcher under the unit of Transport and Infrastructure
development at Zambia Institute for Policy Analysis and Research (ZIPAR). This gave me the
opportunity of acquiring skills and knowledge relating to policy making of engineering related
policies.

I look forward to working with your civil engineering team and professionals in related fields, and
sharing with them my acquired knowledge in engineering policy. I have enclosed my CV and
credentials with this letter for further scrutiny. I look forward to your positive response. For further
information, please reach me on 0973035244.

Yours Sincerely,

Burton Mwakilasa
