• Document inspection findings in detail and prepare comprehensive, accurate inspection reports using established protocols and software systems.

• Verify compliance with local UAE regulations, industry standards, and established safety protocols during all inspections.
• Coordinate with maintenance, repair, and operations teams to communicate findings and recommend corrective actions.
• Maintain organized and up-to-date inspection records, databases, and documentation for audit and reference purposes.
• Respond promptly to stakeholder complaints and service requests by conducting follow-up inspections and investigations.
• Provide technical recommendations for system repairs, upgrades, or replacements based on inspection findings.
• Collaborate with regulatory agencies and stakeholders to ensure adherence to utility service standards.
• Participate in training programs to stay current with evolving regulations and inspection best practices.
• Plan and execute inspections in operational environments with restricted access, aligning activities with site safety, permit-to-work requirements, and operational windows typically associated with logistics or freight-adjacent corridors.
• Handle sensitive information discreetly and maintain confidentiality regarding project scope, operations, and locations.

• Minimum 5 years of professional experience in utilities inspection, infrastructure assessment, or related field.
• Strong technical knowledge of utility systems including water, electrical, gas, and telecommunications infrastructure.
