Is this right for you?

Our energy and utilities CV writing service is for you if any of these sound familiar.

Your CV undersells the scale of the projects and assets you've delivered

You've delivered megawatts, kept critical assets available and led crews safely - but your CV reads like a job description rather than a track record.

You're moving from conventional generation into renewables

From coal or gas into wind, solar, storage or hydrogen - and your CV needs to bridge the gap between your operational experience and the transition projects now hiring.

You're stepping from field or engineering roles into asset or commercial management

Your experience spans technical delivery and stakeholders. Your CV needs to position that breadth as a strength, not a split focus.

Not sure if this is the right fit? Submit your CV for a free review and a specialist will tell you honestly what needs to change and which service, if any, makes sense for you. Start with a free review

Who will be working on my CV, and how do we communicate?

A consultant who specialises in the New Zealand job market works with you from start to finish. It starts with a one-to-one consultation by phone or Zoom, typically around an hour. After that you can reach your consultant by phone, Zoom or online chat in your account.

Will my CV get past applicant tracking systems (ATS)?

Yes. Most employers and job boards use ATS software to filter applications before a recruiter sees them. Every CV we write is ATS-optimised with the keywords and formatting your target roles are screened for.

Can I request revisions?

Yes. Revisions are unlimited. Your consultant delivers requested changes by 5pm the following business day, and we keep going until your CV is exactly right.
