Become part of a team that drives innovation and makes the world safer and more connected. With us, you can apply and expand your knowledge and actively shape the industry of the future - in an environment that fosters learning and diversity.

Create the department from the ground up - define service lines, inspection methodologies, standards frameworks, reporting templates, quality systems and the team to deliver them. Establish TÜV Rheinland as an independent, accredited provider of civil & structural inspection and integrity services in the South African market. Grow the practice commercially - support proposals, client engagement and pipeline development for inspection, condition-assessment and integrity mandates.

Lead independent civil/structural condition assessment and integrity evaluation across infrastructure and building assets: bridges, tunnels, underpasses and culverts; retaining walls; buildings (frames, slabs, columns, foundations, facades, parking structures); airports and facilities; rail infrastructure (civil/structural scope); and transmission-line structures and foundations. Perform defect identification, classification and severity grading; risk-based evaluation; condition rating, prioritisation and repair / monitoring / rehabilitation recommendations. Apply standards-referenced inspection regimes (e.g. DIN 1076 for bridges and engineering structures;

VDI 6200 / RÜV structural examination; SANS / TMH equivalents) and produce damage assessments, expert reports, construction logs and redevelopment concepts. Provide structural design-review and check-calculation capability - reinforced and prestressed concrete, structural steel and industrial facilities, buried / underground structures, highway and transportation structures, and temporary works. Establish and coordinate non-metallic construction-material testing and NDT for concrete and building materials (concrete-cover / potential-field, GPR / impulse radar, compressive strength, Falling-Weight Deflectometer) as inspection inputs.

Provide condition and integrity data that feeds operational Asset Integrity Management at handover into operations.

Stand up BIM as a service
- Scan-to-BIM / as-built modelling, 3D coordination and clash detection, 4D scheduling and 5D cost/quantity, and BIM consulting (implementation, documentation, auditing, BEP). Develop digital-twin readiness so inspection and condition data support whole-life asset management for clients.
