Tips for Writing a Better Maintenance Technician Resume
Include all of your maintenance certifications
Certifications you’ve earned as a maintenance technician can also give you a competitive edge on the job market. Therefore, it’s important that you list all of your relevant certifications on your resume. If you’re in the process of completing a certification, simply list it like any other credential, include the date of completion and include the word “anticipated” in parentheses next to the date. Many resume formats use a separate section for certifications that helps them stand out.
For maintenance technicians many trade schools offer certificates and some programs offer certification preparation courses. However, these are not to be mistaken for earning an actual certification in some area of specialty. Several organizations offer similar certifications and are respected by the industry. It’s important you know what the organizations are before pursuing certification with an organization industry leaders and managers don’t recognize. Once you’ve earned your certification, always be as specific as possible when referring to the name of your certifying body as well as the title of the actual subscription you earned. Also, since some subscriptions expire, be sure to include the year you earned you certification.

Quantify your maintenance experience on your resume
Quantifying your maintenance technician background helps managers understand the breadth and depth of your knowledge and experience as they evaluate your resume and application. As you create the job history descriptions under your resume’s “Professional Experience” section, check if you can add responses to the following questions: “how much?” or “how many?” For example:
- How many cases did you solve on average per day? How many more cases did you solve than other maintenance technicians?
- How much time/money did you save the company by retraining other technicians to complete plumbing repairs using your unique method?
- How many apartments were you responsible for maintenance?
- How many HVAC systems did you install?

How to Align Your Resume With the Job Description
Employers looking for maintenance technicians sometimes sift through hundreds of resumes to find applicants who are the best fit for their company’s requirements.
Use your resume to highlight your experiences and talents that relate to those words listed in the job description. As a result, you can vastly improve the chances of grabbing the hiring manager’s attention and landing an interview.
Apply the process outlined below to help you discover which keywords will be most successful at grabbing the attention of a prospective manager.
Review the job description and create a list of key skills based on the credentials mentioned in the job ad. Add any job skills, experiences, or achievements mentioned more than once to your list. Alternatively, you could highlight the keywords you identify often because this frequently implies that the company considers them to be among the most important.
After you’ve identified the keywords you need in your resume, scan your resume for any of the keywords that may already be included. Cross the words that are already present off your list and work on incorporating the remaining keywords throughout. As you work, see if you can mix the remaining keywords into some of your achievements.
