How to write a builder resume

Craft a resume summary statement

A resume summary is your opening statement that highlights your strongest skills and top accomplishments. It is your chance to quickly let recruiters know who you are professionally - and why they should hire you for the builder role.

Step 1: Mention your current job title or the role you're pursuing.

Step 2: Include your years of experience in builder-related roles. Consider adding relevant company and industry experience as relevant to the job listing.

Step 3: Highlight your greatest accomplishments. Here is your chance to make sure your biggest wins aren't buried in your resume.

Step 4: Again, keep it short. Your goal is to summarize your experience and highlight your accomplishments, not write a paragraph.

These tips will help you demonstrate why you are the perfect fit for the builder position.

Hi, I'm Zippi, your job search robot. Let me write a first draft of your summary statement.

Zippi waving

List the right project manager skills

Your Skills section is an easy way to let recruiters know you have the skills to do the job. Just as importantly, it can help your resume not get filtered out by hiring software. Here is how to make the most of your skills section and make sure you have the right keywords:

  1. Start with the job listing. Frequently, the keywords looked for by recruiters will be listed. Be careful to include all skills in the job listing you have experience with.
  2. Consider all the software and tools you use on a daily basis. When in doubt, list them!
  3. Make sure you use accurate and up to date terms for all the skills listed.
These five steps should give you a strong elevator pitch and land you some builder interviews.

Here are example skills to include in your “Area of Expertise” on a builder resume:

  • Work Ethic
  • Safety Rules
  • Construction Sites
  • Windows
  • Quality Standards
  • Construction Process
  • Tape Measure
  • Assembly Line
  • Nail Guns
  • Wire Harnesses
  • Pallet Jack
  • Inventory Control
  • Staple Gun
  • Troubleshoot
  • HVAC
  • Safety Standards
  • PLC
  • Quality Products
  • SQL Server
  • Photoshop
  • Construction Projects
  • HTML
  • Traction
  • Pneumatic Tools
  • CSS
  • Residential Construction
  • QA
  • Electrical Control Panels
  • Residential Homes
  • Building Materials

You can let Zippi customize your resume.

Zippi waving

How to structure your work experience

A work experience section is a vital part of your resume because it shows you have the experience to succeed in your next job.

  1. Put your most recent experience first. Prospective employers care about your most recent accomplishments the most.
  2. Put the job title, company name, city, and state on the left. Align dates in month and year format on the right-hand side.
  3. Include only recent, relevant jobs. This means if you're a fairly experienced worker, you might need to leave off that first internship or other positions in favor of highlighting more pertinent positions.

How to write builder experience bullet points

Your resume is not a list of responsibilities or a job description. Instead, it is your chance to show your accomplishments and show why you're good at what you do.

  • Use the What, How, and Why format. Answering these questions turns a bland job description into an effective showcase of your abilities.
  • What were your responsibilities or goals?
  • How did you accomplish them?
  • Why were your results important? (How did it impact your company? Can you quantify the results in numbers? )

Here are effective examples from builder resumes:

Work History Example #1

You can let Zippi customize your resume.

Add an education section to your resume

The education section should display your highest degree first.

Place your education section appropriately on your resume. If you graduated over 5 years ago, this section should be at the bottom of your resume. If you just graduated and lack relevant work experience, the education section should go to the top.

If you have a bachelor's or master's degree, do not list your high school education. If your graduation year is more than 15-20 years ago, it's better not to include dates in this section.

Here are some examples of good education entries from builder resumes:

High School Diploma

2014 - 2014

Highlight your builder certifications on your resume

If you have any additional certifications or education-like achievements, add them to the education section.

To list, use the full name of the certification and the organization that issued it, along with the date of achievement.

Here are some of the best certifications to have on builder resumes:

  1. OSHA Safety Certificate
  2. EPA Amusement Operators Safety Certification (EPA)
  3. Graduate Master Builder (GMB)
