Torque

Tight single column for mechanical and maintenance engineering, where the plant and equipment list matters as much as the narrative.

Example text — you replace it with yours in the builder.

Who this suits

A safe default for technology & engineering roles and for any application going through a large employer's careers portal, where the first reader is software rather than a person.

How it handles ATS parsing

Single column with a linear reading order, conventional section headings, and no layout tables. Contact details sit in the body text rather than a page footer, because footer content lives outside the text layer and many parsers drop it entirely.

What you can change

Accent colour, font body, font heading, spacing, scale, line, section order, which sections appear, page size (A4 or Letter), and every word of the text. Nothing here is locked behind a payment.

How to write a mechanical or maintenance engineer's CV in Torque

Maintenance and mechanical roles are hired on equipment and results: which plant you kept running and what you improved. Torque is a tight single column, so an equipment list and a long career both fit.

Sections, in this order

  1. Professional summary
  2. Equipment and systems you have worked on — turbines, compressors, HVAC, CNC
  3. Experience
  4. Maintenance improvements
  5. Education
  6. Certifications and safety training
