UK Civil & Mechanical Engineer CV Format (2026)

UK engineering employers expect a 2-page British CV with chartership status (CEng/IEng), project scale, codes (Eurocodes, BS), and right-to-work — especially for infrastructure and energy roles.

What should a UK engineer CV include?

List CEng/IEng or progress toward chartership, key projects (value, discipline, your role), software (AutoCAD, Revit, SAP2000), and health & safety (CSCS, IOSH). Overseas engineers: note UK-SPEC equivalence and visa status. No photo.
