Job description

Want to work for a company that provides genuine career progression? Substantial in-house training is provided. This includes renewal of tickets, as well as funding to obtain new certification.

Relish the autonomy of working unsupervised inspecting pipes, or tanks, or pressure vessels, and the challenge of liaising with clients directly?

Tired of work taking you away from home? All site work will be within a commutable distance of one of my client's sites (Runcorn, Salt End, or Teeside) which means that you'll be in your own bed every night(as long as you live within a commutable distance of those sites of course).

If you've answered 'yes' to those questions, then you could be one of many experienced inspectors I'm looking for.

You must be an API inspector with any of the following certification:

API-570 Piping Inspection
API-510 Pressure Vessel Inspection
API-653 or EEMUA 159 Tank Inspection

Salary is graded dependent upon how many of those you possess. If you hold PCN certification (weld inspection) or CSWIP 3.0/3.1, then this commands further increments.

Travel outside of working hours will be paid at OT rate of x1.5. If own vehicle is used (e.g. travelling from home), mileage will be paid at 45p per mile. There is the possibility of working from home with use of a company van.

This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced inspector to support a growing business.

The Inspector will join my client's Engineering Services business to support their full existing client base as well as new clients. You will act at the forefront of the business, working alongside clients and internal teams alike to provide the best possible service.

The focus of the role will be to work closely with clients, inspecting a variety of in-service equipment and producing comprehensive reports to assess and recommend improvements to the highest standards.

Experience working on a variety of jobs whilst unsupervised and confident in error-free report writing is a must.

Experience of specifying Inspection intervals in accordance with approved codes and current Written Schemes of Examination is also required.
