What should an electrical engineer resume include?
Indian hiring managers for electrical roles scan for the voltage levels you have worked on, the site type (plant, building, substation or panel shop), your drawings and software, and any licence or safety training. Name the equipment you installed, tested or maintained, and put numbers on downtime, energy savings and project size so a site in-charge can judge your level.
Skills recruiters look for:
- HT/LT power distribution design
- Protection and relay coordination
- Load calculation and cable sizing
- Testing and commissioning
- Preventive and predictive maintenance
From our sample resumes:
- Kunal’s panel-checking line names the panel types and the tests he ran, which tells a contractor he can be trusted on the shop floor from week one.
- Saranya states connected load, voltage level and the number of DG and UPS systems she owns, so a plant head can compare her scope with their own site.
