What skills/qualifications will I have?

You will be an experienced engineer with a sound knowledge of your engineering discipline and be part of our multi-disciplined inspection team within your geographic area. You will report to a Team Manager and be based from home, with your client base a reasonable travelling distance from your home.

  • A Level 4 qualification (HND / HNC etc.) in a relevant engineering field
  • Either a time served or Modern Apprenticeship
