Mechanical Inspector

v Mechanical Inspector

v Overall Job Description

Mechanical inspectors are usually required to have a diploma / bachelor degree in mechanical engineering and relevant work experience. Mechanical inspectors have usually studied HVAC technologies, exhaust, duct and fuel supply systems, general construction and project management, computers, and blueprint reading. Mechanical inspectors also complete on-the-job training, like learning relevant building codes and procedural steps.

Mechanical inspectors need to be detail-oriented to make sure that installed systems meet specific code requirements exactly. They also need to be physically fit and mentally aware, since some investigations will mean heading into active construction sites, which could be physically hazardous.
