Lean heavy on your experience as a seabee.
Expand on what the actual projects were and where they were located. Were you building in Afghan? That should be front and center on your work experience.
Remove the little explanation after your awards. It says the same thing as the name of the award.
Remove English as a language. That’s a given and adds nothing if there’s not a second language.
Agree 100% with leaning on the Seabee experience. CMs will love seeing that.
Also, some companies such as Gilbane participate in the skills bridge program. It allows for former service members to start as a paid intern then transition into the various CM roles.

Yes, 100% agree with this. That most recent experience is huge! Might also help to remove the store manager job at the bottom and do a projects section where you detail a couple of projects of note. Just a quick sentence of the scope, size, contract amount, and location. If you have enough experience, a second page with just 4-5 projects listed could work, too. I'm a project manager for a GC in Atlanta, and that's what I have and see on other resumes for pm's and supers. Good luck!! If you want to work in Atlanta, my company is hiring! 😁
I would expand on what you did as a builder. Did you and your crew do things like make some repairs around some buildings or did you manage million dollar projects where you had to build and manage the budget, drive the schedule, conduct safety audits, coordinate and lead client/project meetings, etc. I can’t really determine exactly what you did and what experience you have from this resume.
Currently an APM and former UT2 after doing 5 years. Using my GI bill for my degree and I landed a job without one. Try to estimate figures and break down your time in as jobs. At NAVFAC I was an ET and used that as one bullet point instead of “Utilitiesman” for 5 years.
So like example if you were a crew leader as a 3rd class for a deployment project make that one bullet, Project Supervisor at BU2 another. Estimate square footage, timeline, and cost to the best of your ability. Also, C schools under any education and replace that with your military awards if possible. I am sure you got some certs too, they got me OSHA 30.
Are you active duty, getting out of the military or reserves? If so, Have TAP or whatever it is in the navy, help you with your resume.
Either way, I'd pare down the jobs and focus more on the construction experience.
Army vet here as well. With better wording and more relevant details you should be fine.

This guy nailed it. Expand on the projects you completed half way around the world. Show how they are relevant to projects you can complete here.
Thank you for the feedback! Seems obvious when someone points it out lol
No worries! I’m a Marine vet myself so happy to help another veteran in construction

At a large GC you would probably get a field engineer position. At a smaller company you could probably get an assistant super position.

Take off your OA award, keep the Eagle Scout award. Anyone who did Scouts knows what that is and how easy it is to join
