Cargo Inspector Opportunity
Due to continued organic growth, we are excited to offer an opportunity for a Cargo Inspector to join our expanding team.

You’ll be hands-on in the field, conducting cargo sampling, performing detailed measurements, and completing precise calculations to deliver accurate, reliable reports to our clients. This is an opportunity to build technical expertise, take ownership of your work, and play a vital role in ensuring operational excellence.
Key Requirements
- Previous experience in the petrochemical/Inspection industry is beneficial but not required
- Hold a valid driving license
