Who this example is for

Civil and site engineers, including graduate engineers.

Why this CV works

  • Each role names project types, values or sizes where appropriate, and the engineer's responsibilities.
  • Safety and quality responsibilities are included, which contractors look for.
  • Software and professional registration are clearly listed.

Tips for writing your own

Lead with projects

Mention project type, size and your role. For senior engineers, a short list of major projects can be more useful than long job descriptions.

Be exact about registration

If you are a member or working towards membership of a professional engineering body, say which grade. Don't round up.
