  • Identify and report on physical damage, corrosion, missing parts, or compromised insulation.

Refrigeration Unit & Temperature Verification

  • Test unit operation at multiple temperature set-points (e.g., -18°C) to validate performance.
  • Monitor temperature accuracy and cooling cycle consistency.

Documentation & Media Collection

  • Capture high-quality photographs and videos of inspections.
  • Ensure documentation is complete, clear, and properly labeled for records.

Reporting

  • Generate comprehensive inspection reports, summarizing findings, PTI results, and corrective actions required.
  • Share results with operations, logistics teams, and clients as appropriate.

Standards Compliance

  • Ensure all inspections meet ISO, IICL, and industry standards for refrigerated cargo.
  • Monitor hygiene and regulatory compliance, especially for food-grade and pharmaceutical shipments.

Record Keeping

  • Maintain organized inspection logs, reports, and supporting media.
  • Track corrective actions and resolutions.

Travel Requirements

  • Travel regularly to ports, container depots, and manufacturing sites.
  • Adapt to varying work environments including shipyards, terminals, and client premises.

Required Skills & Qualifications

  • Certification: Bureau Veritas or IICL certification preferred.
  • Technical Knowledge: Strong understanding of refrigeration systems, electrical insulation, mechanical components, and reefer operations.
