How do I write a plumber resume that gets noticed?

Make it specific: name the type of plumbing you do, the systems and buildings you work on, your trade qualifications and real results such as jobs completed, leaks fixed or inspections passed. Most plumber resumes list the same duties, so detail is what sets yours apart.

What to include:

• Header with name, "Plumber", phone, email, city and driving licence if you travel to jobs.
• A three-line summary with years, sector and strengths.
• Trade qualifications and licences, listed as your local authority requires.
• Skills: water supply, drainage, sanitary fixtures, pipe joining methods, testing.
• Experience with site or job types and bullets.

Example summary (fictional): "Plumber with seven years on residential towers and villas, installing water supply, drainage and sanitary fittings and pressure-testing systems before handover."

Keep it to one or two pages in a clean single-column layout so it reads well on phones and online forms.
