Trades & Blue Collar Resume Template
Free trades resume template for electricians, plumbers, HVAC, welders, drivers, and warehouse roles — licences and tickets up front, ATS-safe for builders and labour hire.
Best for
- Electricians & plumbers
- HVAC & maintenance
- Warehouse & drivers
Licences first
Tickets, white card / OSHA cards, and licence classes near contact — not buried.
Job-site language
Site types, tools, and safety outcomes instead of corporate fluff.
ATS-safe column
Single column for Seek, Indeed, and contractor career portals.
Built for blue-collar hiring
Dispatchers and site managers scan for current tickets and whether you have done their kind of work — residential, commercial, industrial, local multi-drop, or long-haul. Lead with credentials, then site outcomes. One clean page beats a padded two-page essay.
DocuResume’s blue-collar track pairs with this layout: keep licence numbers accurate and never list expired tickets.
How to fill this trades template
1) Contact + region you can travel. 2) Licences / tickets block with class and expiry. 3) Summary: trade, years, site type. 4) Experience with fit-outs, faults, PM routes, units, or drops. 5) Apprenticeship or trade school. 6) Tools and tickets in skills — only what you can prove on day one.
- Write "Diagnosed switchboard faults with documented test results" — not "Hard-working team player."
- Name white card, forklift, working at heights, refrigerant, or heavy-vehicle class when current.
- Apprentices: lead with supervising electrician / host employer and modules completed.
