Petroleum Inspector

 We are seeking a unique individual for an uncommon profession. This is an opportunity for the right candidate to learn a valuable trade in a very specialized industry. Inspection services like ours are used by the oil, energy and marine industries worldwide and fully trained and seasoned Petroleum Inspectors are always in demand. 

 If you are a career minded person seeking long-term employment in a stable industry, if you are interested in learning a profession and are willing to work your way through the on-the-job training program and gain the experience needed to master the trade, 

we are looking for you. 

  Inspectors generally work alone in a largely unsupervised capacity.  Once assigned to a job, they are required to monitor and react to it without further instruction.  Reliability is an absolute prerequisite.  Not showing up or showing up late is simply not an option.  This is also a position with a lot of responsibility.  Even the relatively small, routine transfers involve accounting for millions of dollars worth of product.

 No previous experience in the inspection profession is required.  The Company provides all technical and field training.  However, we are looking for candidates who meet the requirements and possess some of the qualifications and skill sets outlined herein.

The work schedule is the most difficult aspect of the job.  The schedule is extremely irregular and unpredictable. There are no set hours of work or set shifts. Work occurs at all hours of the day and night, including weekends and holidays. The work schedule and amount of hours required also varies from week to week. Some weeks are slow and some weeks are extremely busy.  We cannot overemphasize how odd the hours are and how unpredictable the schedule is.

We recognize and appreciate that this type of schedule is not suitable for many people, particularly those with regularly scheduled personal obligations or social activities.  We encourage potential candidates to consider this aspect of the job carefully before applying.
