Yakubu Auwal Lawan

I am writing to express my interest in securing an Instrumentation Engineer at your Company. I am a

graduate degree holder of Mechatronics Engineering Bayero University Kano specializing in Instrumentation, electrical and 

Control. I come from a solid technical background with a strong interest in business and a passion towards

strategy. My area of focus and interest varies from quantitative analysis to project management. I have

maintained a Second Class Upper through a well-balanced program of study, which is not only very analytical

and technical by nature but also helps to build leadership and team building qualities. I am extremely impressed

with company’s approach to strategy consulting, especially within the technical Development and Innovation

practice areas. I believe my academic background, business knowledge and industry experiences have provided

me with the credentials needed to thrive as an engineer.

Prior to African Textile Manufacturing limited and Rahama Radio Station Companies, I worked as a technology

professional, primarily resolving strategic issues related to technology process improvement. I gained solid

research, analytical and problem solving skills while working in the companies. My background in generating

innovative ideas and strategies to improve processes has provided me with a deeper understanding of

multifaceted problems that companies encounter in their daily operations. Moreover, because of my work

experiences, I fully understand how important it is to have great team dynamics in today’s multi-disciplinary

business and technology environments.

To date, my experience as an automation and control engineer has been extremely rewarding and productive.

However, it is through strategy consulting that I can use my analytical aptitude and creative problem solving

skills to their fullest. I strongly believe that consulting is a discipline that will force me to view problems not only

from the client’s standpoint but also from a marketplace, best practices and “think out of the box” point of views.

I would appreciate the opportunity to interview with the Company for the engineer position. Please find enclosed

my resume for your review. I can be reached via email at your email or by phone at Your phone number. I

enthusiastically look forward to hearing from you soon.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely

Auwalu LAWAN Yakubu
