Why Daniel suits an architectural technologist resume
Daniel prints summary and skills before experience, with rounded headings and skills as pills. Practices screen technologists on Revit, detailing and regulations knowledge first, and the clean design suits a design profession while staying easy to read.
Second choice: FAANGPath. FAANGPath is plainer with the same order, a fit for engineering-led firms.

Frequently asked questions
What should an architectural technologist CV focus on?
Projects and sectors, work stages, technical packages, approvals, software and chartered status. Practices want technologists who turn designs into buildable, compliant packages.
Can I call myself an architect?
No, not unless you are registered as one. In the UK, the title architect is protected by law. Use architectural technologist and list your chartered status. Practices respect the title technologist, so use it with confidence.
Should I include a portfolio?
Yes. Show technical drawings and details, not only renders. Remove anything confidential and get permission where needed.
How do I list chartered membership?
Use the post-nominal in your headline, such as MCIAT, and list it in certifications with the institute and year. If you are working toward it, give the stage you have reached.
Is this template right for roles outside the UK?
Yes. Replace Building Regulations with the codes in your country and use the local name for the role, such as architectural technician. A few clear detail sheets in your portfolio help wherever you apply.
How long should the CV be?
Two pages at most. Keep projects and software on the first page.
Will applicant tracking systems read this Daniel PDF?
The sample PDF read back with its contact details, all 5 section headings and all 9 bullets intact in three open-source text extractors (pdf.js, pdftotext and pypdf). Commercial systems such as Workday, Greenhouse or Taleo were not tested, and each employer configures its own.
