Just curious whether I made some grammatical mistakes?

I am writing to express my interest in the trainee program at RWE. I learned of the opportunity through an advertisement on Indeed.com. I became interested in working at RWE after reading how RWE focuses on producing electricity in a clean, safe, and affordable way. I would like to be part of RWE's ambition of becoming carbon neutral by 2040 and contribute to it. With the combination of my engineering education and work experience, I believe that I would be an excellent candidate to join the trainee program at RWE.

During my bachelor studies, my final project was about the strengthening of a weak road pavement in which we used the Bankelman Beam Test to evaluate the structural capacity of the pavement. We analyzed the collected data to determine a bituminous overlay thickness for the strengthening of the road pavement.

(another project) This study helped us to look into a potential method that could replace expensive pavement roughness measurement approaches with a cost-effective one.

I would like to be part of RWE's ambition of becoming carbon neutral by 2040 and contribute to it. I would like to be part of RWE's ambition of becoming carbon neutral by 2040.

The "contribute to it" feels a little bit redundant: how would you be part of it without contributing to it? It's not technically wrong, but it's probably better left out.

I would like to be part ofadopt RWE's ambition of becoming carbon neutral by 2040 and contribute to it. I would like to adopt RWE's ambition of becoming carbon neutral by 2040 and contribute to it.

One doesn't really become a part of an ambition. Rather, I would write "adopt RWE's ambition" or "be part of RWE's project to become carbon neutral."

During my bachelor studies my final project was about the strengthening of weak road pavement. We used the Bankelman Beam Test to evaluate the structural capacity of the pavement.

Your original phrasing feels a little bit awkward as it's not immediately clear what "in which we used the Bakelman Beam Test" refers to -- the project, or the pavement itself? Breaking it up removes that confusion and makes it a little easier to read.

During my bachelor studies, my final project was about the strengthening of a weak road pavement in which we used the Bankelman Beam Test to evaluate the structural capacity of the pavement.

"Bachelor studies" is understandable but I would prefer "undergraduate studies."

We analyzed the collected data to determine a bituminous overlay thickness for the strengthening of the road pavement.


We analyzed the collected data to determine athe best bituminous overlay thickness for the strengthening of the road pavement. We analyzed the collected data to determine the best bituminous overlay thickness for strengthening the road pavement.

We analyzed the collected data to determine athe best bituminous overlay thickness for the strengthening of the road pavement. We analyzed the collected data to determine the best bituminous overlay thickness for strengthening the road pavement.

We analyzed the collected data to determine athe optimal bituminous overlay thickness for the strengthening of the road pavement. We analyzed the collected data to determine the optimal bituminous overlay thickness for the strengthening of the road pavement.

What you have is understandable and grammatical, but this phrasing makes a bit more sense to me.

"Cost-effective" is a somewhat relative term, and here I would prefer "more" for clarity.

I wouldn't say the comma is wrong, but it's not really necessary here. The sentence flows fine without it.
