Give the reader context first
Use a recognizable job title, company name and dates. If your internal title is obscure, you can add a clarifying function in parentheses without pretending the official title was different.
Turn responsibilities into useful bullets
A responsibility tells the reader what the job included. A stronger bullet shows what you personally did within that responsibility. You do not need a dramatic achievement in every line.
“Responsible for preventive maintenance, vendor handling and electrical systems.”
“Planned preventive maintenance activities for electrical distribution equipment and coordinated vendors to close service observations on schedule.”
Use action + scope + evidence
A reliable pattern is action + scope + result/evidence. Scope can be equipment count, site size, frequency, team size, budget, geography or process responsibility. Result can be a verified outcome, completion, decision or improvement.
“Reviewed weekly electrical maintenance observations across three facilities and tracked corrective actions with technicians and vendors through closure.”
Use numbers only when you know them
Real numbers improve context. Invented numbers damage credibility. If you cannot verify a percentage, describe the actual scale or frequency instead: number of assets, monthly PM schedule, number of locations, team size or response responsibility.
Order bullets for the target role
The first one or two bullets get the most attention. Put the responsibilities and outcomes most relevant to the target job first. A facilities role may lead with maintenance, reliability and vendors; an energy role may lead with audits, load management or consumption analysis.
Verb tense and current roles
Use present tense for genuinely ongoing responsibilities and past tense for completed work or previous jobs. Consistency matters more than trying to make every bullet sound dramatic.
