We are looking for an experienced and detail-oriented Ship Inspector to ensure that vessels, maritime installations, and related operations comply with applicable legislation, safety standards, and technical requirements. As a Ship Inspector, you will play a central role in assessing vessel seaworthiness, working conditions, maintenance standards, and operational documentation. You will work closely with shipping companies, captains, chief engineers, port authorities, classification societies, and public agencies to support safe and efficient operations across the maritime sector.
This position requires a strong understanding of maritime regulations, international conventions, and onboard technical systems across different vessel types. You will conduct inspections, audits, and follow-up reviews, identify non-conformities, and prepare clear reports with recommendations for corrective actions. In addition, you will be expected to assess risks, interpret technical documentation, and communicate accurately with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
An important part of the role involves ensuring compliance with national and international requirements related to safety, environmental protection, cargo handling, fire protection, lifesaving equipment, machinery, and crew working conditions. You must be able to work in a structured and independent manner, often in situations where rapid assessments and professionally sound decisions are required. The role may involve travel to ports, shipyards, and offshore locations, and you should be comfortable working in environments where conditions can vary significantly.
We are seeking a candidate who combines technical insight with high integrity and a practical approach to problem-solving. You should be able to build trust with stakeholders while maintaining a consistent focus on safety, quality, and regulatory compliance. Experience inspecting merchant vessels, passenger ships, offshore units, or specialized vessels will be an advantage, and familiarity with reporting systems, risk assessment methods, and maritime management systems will strengthen your profile.
As a Ship Inspector, you will become part of a professional environment where precision, accountability, and collaboration are essential. You will have the opportunity to contribute directly to safety at sea, the protection of people and the environment, and the continued development of high standards within the maritime industry. If you are motivated by working with complex technical assessments, regulatory requirements, and practical safety oversight in an international context, this is an exciting opportunity for you.
