FAQ

Common questions about this CV

Do I need a boiler certification?

For official gas hookups, yes. Without Vaillant, Bosch or Viessmann authorization the manufacturer warranty is void. Customers pay a premium for certified installers because their cover depends on it.

How do I show experience without a formal employer?

List sites, system types, meters of pipe and number of boiler rooms commissioned. Independent contracting in residential is the norm. Add 2 or 3 client references.

Should I move into commercial?

Tickets are larger but paperwork and pressure-test discipline are stricter. Hotels and malls bring year-round work, residential tends to be seasonal.

How do I quantify productivity on a CV?

Use calls per week or sites per quarter. For boiler work, count commissioned units. For emergency callouts, add average arrival time, that is the strongest signal for hiring managers.
