Electrician resume example & writing guide

Updated 2026-07-15 · Recommended template: Classic

For licensed trades, credentials do the heavy lifting. State your license class, jurisdictions, and specialties immediately — then prove reliability with project scope.

What to include on a electrician

  • License class and state(s) go right under your name — journeyman, master, apprentice hours.
  • Specify settings: residential, commercial, industrial — and the codes you work to (NEC).
  • Quantify projects: panel upgrades, service sizes (200A/400A), square footage, units wired.
  • Safety credentials (OSHA 10/30, lockout-tagout) get their own line.
  • Include specialties that command premiums: solar/PV, EV chargers, generators, low-voltage.
