Create My Excavator Operator CV

Employers check your licence or card first, then the size of machine you operate and the kind of work you have done. Put these details at the top of your CV so they can see at once whether you fit the job.

Put your licence or card first

Give the operator licence or card required in your country, with dates: for example a CPCS card in the UK. Add any health and safety training, and your driving licence if you move wheeled machines on public roads.

State the machine and its size

Tracked or wheeled, the tonnage you operate (for example 8 t, 20 t or 30 t), and attachments such as a hydraulic breaker. Naming the makes and models you know also helps.

Describe the work in concrete terms

Foundation digging, trenching for utilities, loading trucks, grading slopes or demolition: say which of these you have done. One sentence on daily checks and site safety is enough.

What Every Excavator Operator CV Should Include

  • Operator licence or card
  • Machine type and tonnage
  • Types of work

Example Work Experience Lines
