Frequently asked questions
How important are PV and EV qualifications?
Increasingly important. Both are growth areas with strong demand and tend to pay above the base trade rate.
Should I list every site I have worked on?
No — group by project type or summarize at the role level. A flat list is hard to scan.
Do I need to include my safety record?
Mention if it is clean — it is a real differentiator. Don't volunteer past incidents on the CV; address if asked in interview.
