The Course in Detail

Do you have a background in Engineering, an eye for detail and good judgement? Do you want to help keep people safe when they’re at work, at school and in public?

As an Engineer Surveyor, you will be responsible for inspecting a wide variety of equipment in workplaces such as football stadiums, music events, the film industry, dockyards as well as factories, shops, quarries, hospitals and schools.

You’ll conduct thorough examinations on of millions of items of equipment every year from eyebolts to tower cranes, coffee boilers to steam trains, electrical installations, lifts, escalators and construction equipment. You will specialise in either Mechanical or Electrical surveying.

In your day-to-day, you will need to travel to client sites, achieve targets working to tight timeframes, work independently, make confident judgements and self-motivate.

This apprenticeship standard covers the core skills, knowledge and behaviours to demonstrate competency of an Engineering Surveyor and covers key requirements to include:

  • Liaise and communicate with clients to provide guidance and information about any defects in their equipment
  • Identify defects in equipment and categorise them appropriately
  • Formulate and produce clearly written, technically accurate inspection reports
  • Carry out site specific risk assessments and create and apply method statements
  • Use operational data to manage weekly work schedule in an efficient and cost effective way

You will develop your skills, knowledge and behaviours through on and off-the-job training and are expected to attend College on a block release basis.
