What Recruiters Look For

Electrician CVs must lead with certifications. Your 18th Edition, AM2, and any specialist qualifications like EV installation or solar PV are what get you shortlisted. After certifications, recruiters want to see the type and scale of installations you handle.

Key Skills to Include

18th Edition (BS 7671), testing and inspection (2391), Part P building regulation, domestic and commercial installation, EV charger fitting, solar PV, fault finding, and JIB registration.

Common Mistakes

Burying your certifications at the bottom of the CV. In the trades, your qualifications are your currency. Put them prominently near the top. Also include your safety record and any customer feedback.

Formatting Tips

One page. Keep it simple and direct. Include a dedicated Certifications section near the top. List your key specialisms and the scale of your work.
