Why a Electrician CV is different
A Electrician CV is read against very different signals to a generic CV in the UK. Generic CV tools don't know what 18th Edition, ECS or Part P signal to a contractor. Your years on the tools get buried under the wrong words. You know the work. Writing about it is the hard part.
Sausage Dog leads with 18th Edition, ECS/JIB, Part P, NVQ Level 3, the things contractors scan for. Uses real trades language: first fix, second fix, commercial, domestic, testing and inspection. Rewrites your bullets around projects, site experience, and outcomes.
Our underlying research, We read 125 UK electrician job adverts, found that 41% require 18th Edition. That single signal often decides whether a CV makes the shortlist.

Frequently asked
How does Sausage Dog tailor a electrician CV?+
Sausage Dog reads the electrician job description you paste in, identifies the keywords, responsibilities, and qualifications it asks for, then rewrites your existing CV to mirror that language while keeping every fact in your real experience intact. The result is an ATS-friendly CV in under a minute.
Is the output ATS-friendly for electrician roles?+
Yes. The tailored CV uses plain formatting, mirrors the exact keywords in the job description, and keeps section headings (Experience, Education, Skills) that applicant tracking systems are built to parse. No tables, columns, or fancy headers that break ATS scans.
Will the rewritten electrician CV still sound like me?+
That is the whole point. Sausage Dog rewrites your real bullet points in your tone, not corporate jargon. It does not invent qualifications or experience you do not have, it just sharpens what is already there for the specific electrician role.
Is it free to tailor a electrician CV?+
Yes. You can tailor one CV per day on the free tier with no card needed. Premium (£9/month) gives unlimited tailoring plus cover letters, interview prep, and LinkedIn rewrites for the same role.
