Construction works coordinator CV: example and template

This example is for works coordinators at general contractors, fit-out companies and housing sites, and for site foremen and construction technicians who want to coordinate several crews at once.

The site manager wants to know which works you coordinate, how many crews you lead, how you keep the schedule and quality on track and how you prepare inspections. We show you how to describe this on your CV.

Questions and answers

What should a construction works coordinator put on a CV?

Types of sites, scope of works, the number of crews, schedule, inspections, measuring works, training and education.

Does a works coordinator need a building licence?

Not always. Licences are required from the site manager and works manager; a coordinator is often still gathering practice.

How does a coordinator differ from a site foreman?

A foreman leads one crew, while a coordinator connects the work of several crews and keeps the schedule of the whole scope on track.

How do you show results on the CV?

Give the number of units or square metres, deadlines, the number of defects at inspection and the number of crews.
