  • List client-specific HSE passports or inductions you hold.
  • Put your most recent project first, with client, contractor and location.
  • Keep one column and standard headings, so application systems (ATS) can read your CV.
  • Photo and date of birth depend on the country: usually left out for the USA, UK and Europe.
