Is this right for you?

Our engineering resume writing service is for you if any of these sound familiar.

Your resume lists duties, not the engineering you delivered

You've solved complex technical problems, signed off designs and delivered projects to standard and budget - but your resume describes tasks rather than the outcomes your engineering made possible.

You're stepping up from technical delivery into engineering leadership

Moving from design or project engineering into lead, principal or engineering manager roles - and your resume needs to position your technical authority, team leadership and commercial judgement, not just your discipline.

You're moving between consultancy, owner-side or a new sector

Moving between consultancy and asset-owner roles, or across infrastructure, resources, energy and manufacturing - and your resume needs to reposition your technical experience for a different audience and sector.

Not sure if this is the right fit? Submit your resume for a free review and a specialist will tell you honestly what needs to change and which service, if any, makes sense for you. Start with a free review
Why choose CV People

We specialise in engineering hiring.

Engineering hiring is driven by technical outcomes, not duties. Designs delivered, problems solved, standards met and teams led - our specialists position that track record for the roles that value it most.

Numbers that land.

Technical and project outcomes positioned precisely

Design scope, project value, standards compliance and efficiencies achieved - we translate your engineering track record into the language engineering hiring managers look for.

Past the filters first.

ATS-optimised for engineering roles

Consultancies, asset owners, government and manufacturers all screen engineering roles for specific keywords, from CPEng and NER to CAD and BIM tools. We write your resume to pass that automated screening.

Sector-native writing.

Discipline-specific language across every area

Civil, structural, mechanical, electrical, chemical and process engineering all have distinct vocabularies. Our specialists write in the language of your discipline.

Specialists. Matched to you.

FAQs

Frequently asked questions.

Do your resume writers have experience in engineering?

Yes. Since 2011 we've grown our team to 65 specialist resume writers working across 72+ industries, and we've written more than 60,000 resumes for over 920 professions. We match you with the engineering specialist with the most relevant experience for your discipline.

How long does it take?

Your first draft is delivered within 3 business days of your consultation call, which is usually scheduled for the next business day after you book. Express 1 and 2 business day turnarounds are also available.

Who will be working on my resume, and how do we communicate?

A specialist consultant from our Australian-based team works with you from start to finish. It starts with a one-to-one consultation by phone or Zoom, typically around an hour. After that you can reach your consultant by phone, Zoom or online chat in your account.

Will my resume get past applicant tracking systems (ATS)?

Yes. Most employers and job boards use ATS software to filter applications, and most applications are filtered by these systems before a recruiter sees them. Every resume we write is ATS-optimised with the keywords and formatting your target roles are screened for.

Can I request revisions?

Yes. Revisions are unlimited. Your consultant delivers requested changes by 5pm the following business day, and we keep going until your resume is exactly right.

Why a specialist matters

CV People engineering specialist vs generic and AI resume services.

Engineering resumes live and die on technical outcomes. Design scope, project value, standards, registrations and measurable improvements need to be framed precisely - that takes a specialist, not a generic writer or AI tool.
