The summary
Three sentences: your years and whether you run site or design, the one project result that proves you deliver, and the software and codes you work to. Civil hires on delivery and compliance, so name both.
- Say site execution or design in the first line — they are different jobs and the reader needs to know which.
- Put one project number in the summary: value, early delivery, or wastage cut.
- Name your software (AutoCAD, STAAD.Pro) and that you work to IS codes; both are filters.
- No adjectives about yourself; an on-time, on-budget handover is the proof.

Dedicated civil engineer with good technical knowledge, looking for a challenging position to utilise my skills in a reputed construction company.
Experience bullets
Each bullet is a verb, the work, and the figure — project value, days ahead or behind, wastage, pour cycle, variance. On a civil resume the figures are the credibility.

Format
- One page until about eight years of experience; two only for long project lists.
- Single column, standard headings, so applicant tracking systems read it in order — no tables for experience.
- Lead each role with the project: name, value and your part in delivering it.
- List software and codes explicitly; many civil roles filter on AutoCAD, STAAD.Pro and IS codes by name.
