Reporting and Interfaces
Internal interfaces: Operations, maintenance, asset integrity, HSE, engineering, inspection planning, and document control teams.
External interfaces: Regulators, client assurance teams, competent persons, inspection bodies, OEMs, and specialist testing contractors.
HSE and Quality Commitment
Ensure equipment is safely isolated, depressurised, prepared, and accessed before inspection; statutory compliance never overrides permit-to-work or operational safety controls.
The role holder is expected to demonstrate integrity, objective judgement, respect for approved procedures, and a continual-improvement mindset. Responsibilities may be adjusted to suit project scope, risk, location, and contractual requirements.
