Questions

Should I add every Offshore Installation Manager keyword to my CV / resume?

No. Use the ones the specific job ad asks for and that you can back up with real experience. A long list of unsupported keywords makes a CV / resume less credible, not more.

Where should the keywords go?

Tools, systems and certifications belong in your skills section. Prove them in your experience bullets, and mention the two or three most important ones in your summary.

Do I need the exact wording from the job ad?

Where it's accurate, yes. Recruiters and screening systems often search for the employer's own terms, so use their name for a tool, certification or process you have actually worked with.
