If I have 2 job titles, how would I list that on my Resume?

I am an Mechanical Engineer and ISO Manager for my company. The boss is too cheap to hire more people so that's why I have 2 postions. And the other Mechanical Engineer I work with is also a salesman, that how cheap my boss is. I figure it's time for me to move on now.

I am applying for another mechanical engineering job but I figure my ISO duties would be also helpful so I want to list them. They show how I'm also famliar with ISO/QS 9000 standards which a lot of companies do not expect regular engineers to know.

I'm not sure what the best format. Combine them like this:

*Mechanical Engineer / Iso Manager ABC Company (2003 - present)
duty #1
duty #2
duty #3 .....


or seperate them like this:

*Mechanical Engineer ABC Company (2003 - present)
duty #1
duty #2
duty #3 .....

*Iso Manager ABC Company (2003 - present)
duty #1
duty #2
duty #3 .....



so for the HR and recruiting people, what would be the best way to do this?

Use whatever title will give you the best edge for the job to which you are applying. Listing multiple titles that are almost competitive (engineer vs. manager, even if it is an ISO Manager) will add ambiguities to your objectives. It's better to make it clear what you want...

i guess it would be best to try to incorporate duties of both titles under one title?

What does the organizational chart call you? What is on your business cards?
What do you currently do?
Having two job titles is not uncommon.

On my resume I did it like this

ABC Company (2003 - present)

*Mechanical Engineer (2003 - present)

duty #1
duty #2
duty #3 .....

*Iso Manager (2004 - present)
duty #1
duty #2
duty #3 .....

That way, they know how long you've been at the company, how long you've done each job role, and the details of each role and it's not ambiguous at all.

What about using the phrase "Concurrent Assignment" on the less important one?
That way, you make it clear that your boss had assigned you to do double work, rather than half of each. :p

Beat me to it. Well said.
