Put site readiness and safety first
Present tickets, equipment, rosters and resources-sector experience in a robust layout designed for practical site roles.
What resources employers need to confirm
Your resume should quickly establish the work you can safely perform, the environments you know and the evidence behind your reliability. Keep tickets current and separate genuine competencies from equipment you have only observed.
Site readiness
Include relevant medicals, inductions, licences, tickets and availability without adding unnecessary sensitive information.
Plant and equipment
Name equipment, models or systems only where you have real operating, maintenance or support experience.
Safety record
Show hazard identification, pre-starts, permits, isolation procedures, reporting and contribution to safe team performance.
Examples of strong evidence
- Completed pre-start inspections and reported defects before equipment entered service.
- Supported preventative maintenance during shutdown work while meeting permit and isolation requirements.
- Worked rotating rosters in remote conditions while maintaining reliable attendance and documentation.
Replace these examples with your own facts. Avoid vague claims such as “excellent safety record” unless you can explain the evidence.
