Salam hunting for job!!! it is easy and advantages to join some consultant or contractor as internee/trainee engineer, this will give you a good look into the professional life. You will be able to decide which way to go according to your interest and develop some professional contacts. Regards

W/Assalam! Taimur! You may apply for employment in two ways: 1. Where an advertisement has been given for the job Method of applying for the job, as well as what information is to be provided with the job application, in normally provided in the advertisement. So, in this case, you should follow the procedure specified in the advertisement. 2. When you want to apply on your own (without any advertisement) It would be better to apply with your CV, supported by photocopies of your educational degree (Matric onwards), and any experience or special skills certificates (e.g., computer , CAD, or civil engineering related software courses etc.). As regards the cover letter, do a search on the internet. you will certainly find some good tips (may be some good book too) regarding how to write a good CV/resume, and what should be included in a cover letter. Best of luck. Regards.

Attached are two docs I got from Google; they are lucid and easy to understand and cover examples. Pile Groups (Literature).pdf, Pile_Foundation_Design.pdf With Dynamic loading, the question is not about piles designing only, but in fact, you need to design a foundation system and satisfy vibration limits for the machine. I can share with you typical rule of thumbs for dynamic design of machine foundations. Keep me posted on this as this is my specialty in structures. 1) Your utilization for piles should not exceed 45 - 55 % of capacity under static loading. This is to ensure that soil remains fairly elastic and expected behavior is achieved. 2) Is the boiler centrifugal or reciprocating machine ? You can check ACI - 351 that talks about minimum ratios of foundation weights to machine operating and their CG Locations for both centrifugal and reciprocating machines. 3) Your center of resistance for pile group should be with in 6-7% of machine C.G. 4) What is the max vibration limit for the boiler on the foundation level and at the machine CG level ? You normally get this information from the vendor and you proportion your foundation to satisfy those limits. 5) I am interested in knowing that how would you do a dynamic analysis for the system ? 6) You need to have complete soil investigation report with SCPT test providing shear wave velocities in each soil layer. 7) Is the foundation system an elevated one or is at ground level ? It is important to know this as table top machine design needs more engineering input and caution ? 8) What is your acceptable Human Perception Limit for the system ? 9) Is the foundation system being shared by super structure too. Please provide foundation plan. I want to see what is around your boiler. 10) You response of foundation should be outside the operating range of the machine to avoid resonance.
