Technical & Engineering CV examples

Technical employers want to see what you have designed, built or maintained, and which software and standards you work with. In your CV, mention projects with results, such as an optimised design or shorter downtime. Below you will find examples for a mechanical engineer and an electrical technician. The layout is clear and reads well for recruiters and applicant tracking systems, so your technical knowledge stands out quickly.

As a mechanical engineer, name your software, such as SolidWorks or Ansys, and describe projects with your role and the result. As an electrical technician, list the installations you built or maintained, your PLC knowledge and inspection qualifications such as NEN 3140, with the year. Add your VCA diploma if you work on site.
