About the Job

Requirements

  • A completed degree in Civil Engineering or Structural Engineering.
  • Active registration with CREA.
  • Knowledge of structural analysis of large equipment, preferably shiploaders, ship unloaders, stackers, reclaimers, overhead cranes, gantry cranes, or similar metal structures.
  • Knowledge of metal-structure pathologies, corrosion mechanisms, fatigue, deformations, and structural-integrity assessment.
  • Knowledge of anticorrosion protection systems, industrial painting, and coatings applied to metal structures.

Responsibilities

  • Conduct structural inspections of port equipment and metal structures to assess integrity, stability, operational safety, and asset useful life, identifying anomalies, deterioration mechanisms, and maintenance, repair, or structural reinforcement needs.
  • Inspect metal structures on shiploaders, ship unloaders, stackers, reclaimers, and other metal structures associated with bulk-material handling systems.
  • Perform detailed visual inspections of structural components, including gantries, booms, cabins, towers, supports, bases, rails, walkways, platforms, stairs, guardrails, trusses, and other structural elements.
  • Assess the structural integrity of metal components, identifying corrosion, wear, cracks, deformations, warping, misalignment, fatigue, and other structural pathologies.
  • Plan, monitor, and interpret nondestructive testing, including ultrasound, magnetic-particle testing, liquid-penetrant testing, and other applicable methods for metal structures and welds.
  • Assess critical structural welds for discontinuities, cracks, lack of fusion, localized corrosion, and other defects that could compromise structural integrity.
  • Inspect fastening systems, structural bolts, anchor bolts, and bolted and welded connections.
  • Assess the performance of anticorrosion protection systems, including industrial painting, coatings, and surface treatments, identifying failures, peeling, and the need for restoration.
  • Check the condition of visible foundations, metal bases, rails, and interfaces between metal structures and foundations when accessible.
  • Prepare technical reports and structural assessments with photographic records, inspection results, technical analysis of nonconformities, criticality classifications, and recommendations for repairs, structural reinforcement, or monitoring.
  • Issue technical opinions on the structural condition of equipment to support maintenance, operations, and asset-management decisions.
  • Comply with applicable safety, quality, and technical standards for inspections in industrial and port environments.

Desired Qualifications

  • Experience conducting inspections at port terminals, mines, steelworks, or large industrial plants, as well as qualifications or certification in metal-structure inspection and structural integrity.
