Are you ready to put your stamp on something big?

We're working exclusively with a major UK industrial enterprise at a pivotal point in their growth. They're launching a brand-new Inspection Division, an area set to become a cornerstone of their UK operations, and they're looking for an experienced Inspection Manager to lead from the front.

This isn't just a job, it's a career-defining opportunity. You'll have the autonomy to shape, scale, and elevate a division backed by serious investment, board-level support, and a forward-thinking leadership team. If you're a qualified inspection professional with a passion for people leadership, technical excellence, and delivering impact-this could be the platform you've been waiting for.

What You'll Be Doing

• Leading and managing the newly formed Inspection Division
• Ensuring high-quality inspections and technical reporting across multiple UK sites
• Preparing and delivering commercial proposals to external clients
• Managing invoicing and service delivery for third-party work
• Working closely with senior stakeholders to build long-term client relationships
• Driving innovation, standards, and continuous improvement

What We're Looking For

Essential:

• A recognised inspection qualification such as EEMUA 159, API 570, API 510, or equivalent
• Experience in an asset integrity, inspection, or maintenance engineering environment
• Previous leadership or management experience
• Strong stakeholder and client engagement capability
• Willingness to travel across UK sites with occasional overnight stays

The Package

• Basic Salary: Up to £64,000
• Achievable 20% Annual Bonus
• Company Vehicle (small van) + Paid Travel Expenses
• £40 Overnight Bonus
• 26 Days Annual Leave + Bank Holidays
• Private Medical Insurance
• Life Assurance
• 9% Employer Pension Contribution (3% employee)

Why This Role?

This is your chance to build something from the ground up, make strategic decisions, and be known as the individual who established a highly respected and commercially successful inspection division within a nationally recognised organisation. The potential for growth-both for the division and your career-is immense.

You'll join a team that values technical integrity, innovation, and people development, and you'll be empowered to make decisions that matter. This isn't a back-office role-it's frontline leadership with high visibility and tangible results.
