SGS Industrial Nederland performs technical inspections on various types of industrial equipment. Within the Statutory Services department, we focus on, among other things, the inspection and testing of aerial work platforms, forklifts, telehandlers, lifting cranes, and earthmoving equipment.

You will join an experienced and enthusiastic team of approximately 10 colleagues. Within SGS Industrial Nederland, a total of about 200 employees work, spread across various technical disciplines.

As a Lifting and Handling Equipment Inspector, you will go out independently to inspect and test equipment at our customers' sites. You will do this according to established inspection methods and applicable regulations.

• Checking inspection certificates for accuracy.
