Engineering resume template

Henrietta prints education directly after work experience, and engineering is a field where the degree is part of the licensing path rather than background detail. The rest is the classic business layout (left-aligned name, hairline rules, black and grey), which suits consulting firms that also drop staff resumes into client proposals.

Second choice: FAANGPath. FAANGPath puts skills rows before the jobs, better for software, controls or data engineers whose tools lead the application.

Henrietta template details and test results

Henrietta prints its sections in a fixed order, the same in the PDF and the Word file. Here is that order for this sample, and what to put in each section.

1. Professional Summary. Give your discipline, the project types you design and your licensure stage: FE passed, PE, or PE in several states. Engineering firms staff and bill by discipline and market, and licensure tells them what you can seal.
2. Work Experience. Bullets should show design responsibility: the systems you designed, the analysis tools you used, who checked or sealed the work, and construction-phase tasks such as shop drawing review and site visits. Name project type and size; "600-space parking deck" says more than "parking structure".
3. Education. Henrietta prints this right after experience. NCEES says PE licensure generally starts with a bachelor's degree from an EAC/ABET-accredited program, so give the degree exactly and note accreditation.
4. Skills. The grid has no labels; start with design competencies, then analysis and drafting software, then coordination skills. Analysis software is checked by name, so match the posting where you honestly can.
5. Certifications. List the FE pass (or EIT or EI status, in your state's term) and later the PE with its states. NCEES calls the FE generally the first step toward becoming a licensed PE.

The same content as the files above, so you can copy a line or compare it with your own.

We exported this sample with Resumity's PDF exporter in Chrome on 2026-10-29 and read the file back with three open-source text extractors. This shows whether software that turns a PDF into text can recover it; it is not a test of any commercial applicant tracking system. How we test templates.

1. NCEES: Licensure (common path: EAC/ABET-accredited bachelor's degree, FE exam, four years of experience in most states, PE exam; state licensing boards license engineers)
2. NCEES: FE exam (for recent graduates and students near completion of an EAC/ABET-accredited degree; generally the first step toward PE licensure; computer-based)
