Vacancy

Throughout your week, you visit various locations, inspecting materials on customer sites, aboard ships, and at Hendrik Veder's own workshop facilities. Your expertise helps determine whether these materials can safely be reused in operational environments. Each day concludes with receiving your schedule for the following day, which details your upcoming tasks and locations. This planning allows you to prepare adequately for the inspections you will conduct, which vary from local sites across the Netherlands to assignments abroad.
During your inspections, you thoroughly assess each item, checking for wear, damage, and overall integrity. Additionally, you conduct specialized load tests on shipboard cranes and gangways using water bags to ensure their operational safety. You input all relevant data into the TESSA app, documenting the condition and specifics of the materials you examine. This not only serves to maintain accurate and current records but also ensures compliance with all current safety standards. Your detailed reports are essential for clients and your company to make informed decisions about the continued use or replacement of the equipment. Your role is crucial in maintaining the safety and reliability of operations, directly impacting the operational success and safety protocols of Hendrik Veder Group and its clients.
You will be part of the Solution team that includes around twenty professionals. The team environment fosters both individual and collaborative efforts, with opportunities to work solo or in groups depending on the scale of the inspection. Regular interactions with experienced inspectors enhance your learning and proficiency, preparing you for a range of challenges in diverse settings. This team structure ensures a comprehensive support system that is essential for your professional development and the effective execution of your responsibilities.
