Engineering Resumes Need Technical Precision
Engineering clients evaluate candidates based on specific project experience, professional licenses, and technical tool proficiency. Generic resume formats fail to communicate the depth of engineering expertise. Project descriptions need to convey scope, budget, team size, and measurable outcomes. Professional Engineer (PE) licenses and certifications require proper formatting with states, numbers, and expiration dates.
Common Pain Points
- 1Project descriptions that convey scope, budget, and technical complexity
- 2PE and FE license formatting with multiple state registrations
- 3Technical skills sections that match engineering tool requirements
- 4Education credentials including engineering accreditation (ABET)

Engineering Staffing Resume Best Practices
Professional License Formatting
Engineering clients require clear license displays. Professional Engineer (PE) licenses should include state, license number, discipline, and expiration date. For engineers registered in multiple states, list states relevant to the position first. FE certification indicates engineers-in-training and should be noted with pass date.
Project Experience Presentation
Engineering clients evaluate candidates based on project relevance and complexity. Best practice is to structure project descriptions with: project name/type, your role, project budget/scope, team size managed, technical tools used, and measurable outcomes. iReformat templates organize this information in scannable formats that engineering hiring managers prefer.
Technical Skills Organization
Engineering resumes need structured technical skills sections. Organize by category: design software (AutoCAD, Revit, SolidWorks), analysis tools (ETABS, SAP2000, MATLAB), programming languages, and industry-specific tools. Proficiency levels and years of experience help clients quickly assess fit.
