Site supervisors hire laborers who show up, work safely and can help any trade on the job. Show your safety training, the equipment you run, and the kinds of projects you have worked on.

Tips for a construction worker resume

  • Put safety training first. OSHA 10 or 30, first aid, fall protection and flagger certification.
  • Name your equipment. Forklifts, skid steers, mini excavators, jackhammers, saws and laser levels.
  • List trade skills. Concrete, framing, drywall, roofing, demolition, scaffolding and reading blueprints.
  • Say what you build. Residential, commercial, roads or industrial projects, and the size of the crews you work on.
  • Highlight reliability. Attendance, a valid driver's license, your own tools, and willingness to travel or work overtime.
