In a market flooded with opportunities, but also plenty of competition, standing out as a job seeker in construction or engineering requires more than just ticking boxes on a job description. At Elite Construction & Engineering Recruitment, we speak to hiring managers daily and know what makes a CV go from “maybe” to “call them now.”
Generic resumes won’t cut it. Employers want to see that you understand their project and their values. Tailor your experience to highlight the most relevant skills and achievements for each role
With safety regulations tightening, candidates who show a clear understanding of WHS practices and have up-to-date tickets/licences or white cards, these are more likely to move forward.
Communication, teamwork, leadership, these matter just as much as technical skills. If you’ve led a team, resolved conflict, or worked on tight deadlines, show it.
The market moves fast. Candidates who are ready to meet or chat within 24–48 hours are often prioritised.
We know what clients really want and can position you effectively, including for roles that aren’t publicly advertised.
