Dear Hiring Manager,

I am writing to apply for the position of remote Chemical Engineer, which I noted on your website. The role immediately captured my interest, as it aligns closely with my skills, career aspirations, and passion for innovation in chemical process engineering.

I am a chemical engineer with a strong background in the mineral processing industry, where I’ve gained experience in plant operations, consulting, and research. Throughout my career, I have consistently pursued both technical and business skill development to approach problems holistically. I believe this blend of expertise positions me well to contribute meaningfully to the role.

I have always had a strong interest in exploring, learning and using technologies to analyze and solve problems related to engineering. Such technologies include, Python (and related packages such as GEKKO), Simulink, Excel and Drawio. I am excited about what the future holds given the rapid development of machine learning and artificial intelligence capabilities, and how they will find robust applications in our industry to advance a safer, cleaner and more profitable mineral processing landscape.

Based in South Africa, I hold full working rights locally and am open and willing to travel regionally or internationally as well as remote work. I am experienced and comfortable with travel through the continent as well as more broadly to other countries. I see myself as a sociable professional who respects other cultures equally and can work meaningfully in multicultural-multidisciplinary teams to achieve a common goal.

I would sincerely appreciate your time and effort to seriously consider my application for this outstanding opportunity that is the position of remote chemical engineer. I warmly invite you to contact me in the future and I look forward to further discussions.

Sincerely

Vincent Roos
