Job description

As an ATEX inspector at, say, a large refinery or tank terminal, safety is at the center of every day. You work in hazardous areas, where a spark can be enough. In the morning you check today's planning; inspections in zone 1. With your Ex tablet, PPE and tools you check whether a number of distribution boxes still meet all ATEX standards. Sometimes you perform visual inspections and sometimes detailed inspections.

During the day, you work through your inspection lists and process your findings. You do this accurately and in cooperation with mechanics or maintenance engineers. The days are dynamic, with a lot of outdoor work one day and a lot of indoor work the next. But the most important thing is, no danger of explosion!

Here's what you can expect from us

A fun, challenging job where you can grow with the company's ambitions. By following the right training courses, you can make steps in width or height in no time, depending on your own ambitions.

At BENK PROJECTS, personal attention is key. You will receive guidance from a fixed consultant who understands your field of expertise and will think along with you about your development. Besides that you are part of a knowledge organization in which you can spar with fellow specialists. At least as important: we provide a pleasant working atmosphere, with room for contact, short lines of communication and pleasant moments such as a summer barbecue and an atmospheric end-of-year dinner.

Of course, we also make sure you know what you're doing it for. That's why you can count on:

• A salary between EUR 3,500 and EUR 6,000 per month depending on your experience and knowledge;
• 27 vacation days per year and opportunity to purchase additional days;
• The opportunity to pursue education and training that matches your ambition;
• a good pension plan and an attractive bonus scheme.

Here's what we expect from you

For this position, we are looking for an ATEX inspector with strong safety awareness. You know the risks of explosion hazards and know how to minimize them. You are clear and accurate in your communication and reporting. Furthermore, you can work well independently in an international team.

For this position, we ask:

• ATEX certification (e.g. CompEx Ex01-Ex04, IECEx);
• Good command of the Dutch and English languages;
• electrical engineering background or mechanical engineering;
• strong sense of responsibility.
