In construction, your projects are your proof.
A construction resume shows the projects you've delivered and the role you played on them: project type and value, scope, schedule, budget, safety record and the teams and subcontractors you managed. Hiring managers and recruiters in construction look for this evidence first, along with certifications such as OSHA training, PMP or LEED.
Most construction professionals list duties that sound the same on every resume. We use our consultation process to pull out your project history and results, then present them so a general contractor, owner or developer can see your level at a glance.
Projects with numbers
Project values, square footage, schedules and budgets give hiring managers the scale of your work.
Safety and certifications
Safety records, OSHA training and licenses are presented clearly, because they matter to every employer.

How we write it

I reached out to Otto Resumes with my old resume, it was barely getting any attention. They revamped the design and skills section and I started getting interviews on a regular basis.
