The goal is not to hide where you have worked. It is to make the transferable evidence easy to see, explain the move clearly and avoid claiming experience you do not have.

Pull out specific responsibilities, systems, equipment, qualifications, leadership, safety work, customer work, projects and measurable outcomes. Then separate what is directly relevant to the new field from what is transferable but needs explanation.
A short professional summary can explain the direction of the change, the strongest relevant evidence you already have and the kind of role you are targeting. Keep it specific enough to sound deliberate rather than generic.
Avoid long personal explanations. The useful question for an employer is how your existing evidence relates to the work they need done.
State the direction of the change and the strongest transferable evidence.
Group the skills and responsibilities that genuinely overlap with the target role.
Keep employment dates and roles accurate, but emphasise responsibilities and outcomes that matter to the new field.
Use several current advertisements to identify repeated requirements. If your résumé contains genuine evidence for those requirements, make it easier to find. If it does not, leave the gap visible and decide whether it is something you can learn, verify or should avoid claiming.
CareerValue's free first analysis extracts your work history, qualifications and transferable evidence, lets you correct the profile, then returns a research shortlist of possible pathways. That can help you decide what the résumé actually needs to communicate before you start rewriting it for one target role.
