FAQ

Common questions about this CV

Should I list my safety group on a CV?

Always. It is the first thing recruiters look for. Without at least a journeyman level you will not get called for industrial sites.

How do I show experience without a formal employer?

List sites, scope of work, meters of cable pulled and panels installed. Subcontracting is common. Add 2 or 3 foreman references.

Should I move into solar PV?

Renewable demand keeps growing in EU and US. A 2 to 3 week course on Huawei or SolarEdge inverters is enough to charge 30 to 50% more on installs.

How do I move from commercial to industrial?

Bump your safety group, learn busways and ATS gear, then add VFD experience with Danfoss or ABB. Industrial pays more but the discipline bar is higher.
