How to write a civil engineer CV: a fictional example CV, sentences that describe site and project experience, a software list and points to watch.
In a civil engineer CV, project type, the stage you worked at and the software you use should stand out. This fictional example describes site and office duties in short sentences, without naming a real project.
This example is fictional; the names of people and organisations are not real.

Name the type, such as housing, infrastructure or industrial, and the stage, such as structure or finishes.
List measurement, valuations, quality checks and the work programme one by one.
Write AutoCAD, Primavera, Revit and similar tools at the level you use them.
Working to site safety rules and any certificates (with dates) show competence.
Adapt them to your own real work; never write something you did not do.
Choose only what is true for you.
Sites you did placements on, your final-year project, the software you use and any certificates. Put education first.
