Job Description

Are you looking for a hands-on role where no two days are the same? Ideally you already have experience in oil & gas, including on board vessels or terminal operations, or you’re ready to further develop your career in this space, this could be the opportunity for you.

At SGS, we’re looking for a motivated and adaptable Cargo Inspector to join our team. This role offers full training and the chance to build a long-term career within a world-leading organisation.

What you’ll be doing:

As a Cargo Inspector, you’ll play a crucial role in ensuring the accuracy and integrity of global oil and gas shipments. Your responsibilities will include:

  • Carrying out sampling and measurement of cargoes including crude oil, petroleum products, petrochemicals and gases
  • Performing inspections such as visual checks, temperature and volume measurements, and drawing representative samples of cargo
  • Accurately recording data and completing calculations to determine load, discharge and transfer quantities
  • Working closely with colleagues, clients, terminals and third parties to ensure smooth operations and communicate any delays or issues

  • Climbing shore tanks and performing operations at heights
  • Entering confined spaces
  • Walking distances on terminals and client sites

We’re keen to hear from candidates who have experience within oil & gas, chemicals, petrochemicals, or the wider maritime sector is highly desirable, including backgrounds in ports, onshore or offshore operations, the Merchant Navy, Royal Navy, RAF, Army, cargo inspection, or oil, gas, and dry bulk cargo inspection activities.

  • Physical resilience and the ability to work in demanding, outdoor environments
  • Flexibility to work as part of a 24/7 operation
  • Strong communication skills (both written and verbal)
  • A full UK driving licence

  • Performance related bonus (discretionary and subject to eligibility criteria)
  • BUPA Private medical cover - Immediate cover from day 1
