So what’s it all about:

At Zurich, our Engineer Surveyor workforce is central to our continued success, being the ‘Face of Zurich’ to our large and varied client base. You’ll find a fully flexible offering that means you can manage your own diary to service your own client area. This will allow you to broker and develop your relationships whilst representing Zurich Engineering.

No two days will ever be the same, as you’ll work in a variety of interesting environments and you will have control over your own work/life balance, as we believe our people are what makes us successful.

Zurich Engineering is looking to expand our highly skilled, field-based, Engineer Surveyor team, and we currently have a vacancy in the Home Counties area for a Lift and Crane/Power Press Engineer Surveyor.

You’ll start with our industry-leading, bespoke training and move swiftly to carrying out hands-on statutory inspections, providing your expert opinion on a wide range of equipment, enabling our clients to comply with all relevant legislation and to the exacting standards both we and our clients demand. Following your inspection, we’ll need you to report back using a rugged laptop, and then issue electronically to our clients, so good IT skills and high levels of literacy are required. You will be an excellent communicator, and confident in your ability to make sound engineering judgements.

What skills/qualifications will I have?

You will be an experienced engineer with a sound knowledge of your engineering discipline and be part of our multi-disciplined inspection team within your geographic area. You will report to a Team Manager and be based from home, with your client base a reasonable travelling distance from your home.

• Because this role is SAFed governed, we need you to ideally have obtained:
• A Level 4 qualification (HND / HNC etc.) in a relevant engineering field

• Hands-on experience in a relevant engineering discipline
• A background in working with lifts and/or crane equipment would be an advantage, with hands on experience of working in a role such as manufacturing / repair / maintenance / mechanical / motor trade.
