Tips from recruiters
Put licences and certifications near the top with the issuing body, state and number of hours or expiry date where relevant.
Name the machines, controls and processes you know (Haas, Fanuc, Allen-Bradley, GTAW) because hiring managers and ATS filters search for them.
Quantify safety and quality as well as output: incident-free hours, scrap, rework and inspection pass rates all count.
