Is Thaddeus Okumu-Barrowclough a real engineer

No. He is invented for this page, and so are Harrowden Infrastructure and Pellstow Consulting. The figures show a shape and describe nobody's career.

Should chartership be prominent

Yes, as a certification with its year. On a civil engineering application chartership decides which jobs a candidate is eligible for, and it belongs where a filter can find it.

How should scheme value be described

As a combined figure with a count. Six schemes with a combined construction value of GBP 42 million tells a design manager the scale without pretending one engineer delivered a motorway alone.

What did the checker score it

98 out of 100, re-measured on 25 September 2026, with readable volume 3 points short and achievement quality 1 point short. The arithmetic is 100 × 30% for parseability + 100 × 30% for completeness + 96 × 40% for content. The writing check beside it scored 95, which is 91 of the 96 points that applied, and the 436 readable words clear the volume rule's full band at 250.

Is answering site queries worth a line

It is one of the best lines available. A hundred and eighty technical queries resolved across three live contracts says the candidate has seen their own drawings built, which is the gap between a designer and an engineer.

Which design is this rendered in

Architect, one of the eight layouts shown as the ATS family. The eight were chosen on 2026-09-14 from a measurement of all 37 designs: each one exports a PDF whose text layer scores exactly what the pasted text scores, on both test documents, in one column, with the reading order kept and no graphics. It carries three dated roles and two certifications in one column without crowding.

Summary
Civil engineer with nine years on highways and drainage schemes, working on design, build sequence and the site queries that arrive on a Friday afternoon. Leads 6 schemes worth 42 million pounds.

Experience

Senior Civil Engineer · Harrowden Infrastructure, Manchester · 2021 to present

Led the design of 6 highway schemes with a combined construction value of 42 million pounds and delivered all 6 on programme.
Cut the design programme on a 4 km carriageway scheme by 7 weeks by staging the approvals across 3 separate submissions.
Resolved 180 technical queries from site across 3 live contracts and answered 9 in every 10 within a single working day.
Checked and signed 240 drawings over 2 years and mentored 3 graduate engineers through their professional review at the first attempt.
Coordinated 4 specialist consultants and 2 utility providers on a town centre scheme of 11 junctions across 18 months of design work.

Civil Engineer · Pellstow Consulting, Leeds · 2018 to 2021

Designed drainage for 14 development projects totalling 900 homes and secured approval from 4 authorities without a scheme returning for redesign.
Produced 60 flood risk assessments and secured approval on 57 at first submission across 3 years of planning applications in the north west.
Reduced modelling time by 35% by standardising 5 calculation templates that the whole team applied on every drainage project afterwards.
Supported 5 site investigations and wrote the ground condition sections of 9 reports that the client issued without an amendment.
Rebuilt the drawing register for 3 live projects and cut the issue of superseded information to contractors by 90% within a year.

Graduate Civil Engineer · Pellstow Consulting, Leeds · 2016 to 2018

Drafted 140 general arrangement drawings under supervision across 6 projects and carried 8 of every 10 through checking without a comment.
Completed the professional development objectives 8 months ahead of the usual programme and recorded each one against the institution guidance.
Calculated the drainage networks for 9 sites and checked each result against a hand calculation before it reached the design manager.
Surveyed 12 km of existing carriageway with the survey team and turned the output into 30 drawings the design team used.
Prepared 40 technical notes for 5 clients and cleared 9 of every 10 client questions without a second round of comments.

Value, approvals, queries

Six highway schemes with a combined construction value of GBP 42 million. Sixty flood risk assessments with 57 approved at first submission. A hundred and eighty technical queries resolved from site across three live contracts. Those three describe scale, quality and buildability, which is the whole of what a design manager needs.

The first-submission approval rate is the strongest of them. Getting a submission through without a resubmission is the difference between a programme that holds and one that slips, and it is a number a consultant already tracks.

Checking and mentoring belong on the page

Two hundred and forty drawings checked and signed, three graduate engineers mentored. Checking is the work that senior engineers spend their afternoons on and almost never write down, and it is the clearest evidence of technical authority available.

The graduate role at the bottom does a similar job from the other end: 140 general arrangement drawings drafted under supervision, and the chartership objectives completed ahead of the usual programme. Two lines, and the ladder is visible.

Skills for a civil engineer résumé, grouped

Thaddeus's skills fall into design, analysis and delivery. Design: highway design, drainage design, specification writing, AutoCAD Civil 3D. Analysis: flood risk assessment, hydraulic modelling, technical checking. Delivery: CDM regulations, site support, graduate mentoring. A principal engineer reads technical checking as a seniority signal.

Structural and geotechnical engineers group around their own analysis tools and codes. The free résumé builder lets you name groups for your discipline, and chartership stays in certifications with its year.

From graduate to senior civil engineer

A graduate résumé proves learning on real schemes: drawings produced, calculations checked by others, site visits made. The Pellstow graduate role shows that. An engineer adds designs you own and the approvals they gained.

Senior lines add checking and mentoring: work you checked, graduates you supervised toward chartership, queries you closed with the approving authority. Put scheme value beside your role in it. The certifications guide covers chartered status.

How it reads and scores

The import review read three dated roles with five achievement lines under each, one degree, ten skills, two languages, and chartership and the site card kept as certifications with their years. The ATS checker scored it 98 out of 100, re-measured on 25 September 2026, with readable volume 3 points short and achievement quality 1 point short: 100 × 30% for parseability, 100 × 30% for completeness and 96 × 40% for content. The writing check scored it 95, which is 91 of the 96 points that applied here, and the five points it withheld went to one rule. How the reading and the score are produced is set out in the note on how these examples are made.

What this example leaves off

No software version numbers, no client logos and no list of every standard referenced. A design manager assumes the standards and reads the approval record, which is the thing that predicts whether your submissions will go through theirs.

Scheme names are mostly left off as well. A named road means something to the three people who worked on it; a scheme value, a length and an approval rate mean something to everybody reading the page.

What to change for your own

Change the discipline. Structures, geotechnics, water, rail and coastal work all use this shape with different approvals and different regulators. Then put in your own scheme values, submission records, query counts and checking volumes.

Keep chartership and the site card with their years. Keep the graduate role at two lines. The guide on certifications covers placement, the design gallery holds 37 layouts, and the project manager example, the medical assistant example and the dental hygienist example show the same structure elsewhere.
