NER
Expanded CV Writing for NER
Your CV for the National Engineering Register should not read like a generic job-history document. It should present your engineering career as clear evidence of professional capability, project responsibility, technical judgement, and real-world outcomes.
Overview
What is an Expanded CV for NER?
For NER, your CV is more than a summary of employment dates. It is one of the core documents used to present your engineering experience before referee checks and the assessor interview.
Engineers Australia requires a detailed CV that includes a summary of responsibilities, projects, and achievements for each engineering role — including the situations and problems faced, specialist skills applied, actions taken, and outcomes achieved.

Our Approach
How we build stronger submissions
A weak NER CV lists positions. A strong NER CV tells the story of engineering responsibility.
Expand beyond job titles
We turn short employment entries into richer professional records that show the level of engineering work you actually handled.
Bring projects to the foreground
Engineers Australia expects project and achievement detail. We make sure your important work is visible.
Strengthen your personal contribution
A good NER CV should show what you personally managed, solved, improved, reviewed, designed, or delivered.
Align with assessment reality
Because the NER process includes referees and an interview, your CV should support the way your experience will later be discussed and verified.
