Inserve currently have surveyor vacancies in London, Piraeus and Shanghai. Those people who are already experienced surveyors or those looking to embark on a career in marine surveying should apply to jobs@inserve.org Inserve has a long term strategy to place marine surveyors into strategic locations around the world, and are always pleased to receive applications from marine surveyors or anybody wishing to pursue a career in marine surveying. Locations of particular interest are China (Shanghai), Asia, Middle East, UK/Europe and South America, and we encourage applications from personnel in these areas but this should not deter applications from personnel in other parts of the world. Our principle requirements are that personnel have spent a reasonable amount of time sailing as a navigator or engineer on board various types of ship and have been through formal marine training. A further qualification such as a degree is an advantage but this can be offset by further experience in a particular field such as ship management, classification, new-build supervision or other shore based work. Full training and familiarization in Inserve services will be given both on site and in London. Please contact: jobs@inserve.org |
