The role

This inspection requirement provides evidence of the structural material state of the vessel to ensure the platform is fit to go to sea.

Day to day, you'll conduct visual inspections of our vessels, and produce technical reports of those vessels to provide sufficient information to allow the design authority to make an informed decision to identify any remedial work or further inspections. In this role you will also:

• Work with internal and external stakeholders to assure compliance with specific regulations and codes.
• Work with your Senior Surveyors and Project Teams to support sequencing of work packages.
• Support the management team in the collective endeavour to maintain and improve safety.
