Ridge CV Template — Free Download

Ridge sets your name and contact details above a full-width mountain range drawn in four shades of your colour, darkest in front. A low ridge closes every page, and small peaks mark the headings. The single column stays ATS-friendly, and the landscape gives a steady, outdoors feel that suits construction, field engineering and surveying.

Who the Ridge template suits

Ridge is a good fit for early and mid-career. At a glance: four layers of blue mountain ridgelines across the full width under a split header, a low ridge at the foot of every page and a single column with peak markers.

  • Construction
  • Field engineering
  • Outdoor
  • Surveying

Built without a photo, which suits the US, Canada, the UK and Ireland, where photos are usually left off. If an employer expects one, you can add a photo in the builder.

Is Ridge ATS-friendly?

Yes. Ridge keeps your content in one text column with standard section headings and no tables, so applicant tracking systems read it in order.

Whichever template you pick, download your PDF and run it through our free ATS checker to see the text a tracking system extracts.
