Full job description

About the Role:

Edinburgh is known for combining historic infrastructure with modern engineering, energy, technology, and commercial development. At BMI Inspection and Compliance Ltd, we apply the same balance of precision and practicality to technical inspection and asset assurance.

We help organisations maintain safe, reliable, and compliant equipment across industrial, commercial, and infrastructure environments. We believe that inspections should do more than identify faults. They should provide clear engineering insight that helps clients make confident operational decisions.

We are looking for a Principal Inspection Engineer who can take ownership of complex inspection programmes and technical assurance activities. You will provide senior engineering guidance, review critical findings, and help ensure that assets remain safe, compliant, and fit for continued service.

You are not simply completing inspection reports. You are defining inspection strategies, supporting engineering decisions, and improving the technical standards used across our projects.

Why Work With Us?

The Environment:

Our office is based in Edinburgh Park, one of the city’s established business and technology districts. We value a professional working environment that supports focused technical work, collaboration, and practical problem solving.

Technical Influence:

We do not need you to convince us that inspection quality matters. We understand that reliable engineering decisions depend on accurate assessments and clear technical evidence. You will have meaningful input into inspection methods, reporting standards, and client recommendations from Day 1.

Varied Projects:

You will work across mechanical equipment, industrial installations, commercial assets, pressure systems, lifting equipment, and infrastructure projects. Each assignment brings different technical challenges and opportunities to apply your expertise.

Growth:

You will receive support for professional memberships, technical certifications, specialist training, and continuing professional development to keep your knowledge current.

Key Responsibilities:

Inspection Programme Ownership:

Plan, coordinate, and oversee technical inspection programmes for mechanical equipment, industrial systems, and operational facilities.

Technical Assessment:

Evaluate defects, corrosion, wear, deterioration, damage, and other conditions that may affect asset safety, reliability, or service life.

Engineering Review:

Review inspection data, maintenance records, drawings, test results, and previous reports before making technical recommendations.

Inspection Standards:

Develop and improve inspection procedures, technical checklists, acceptance criteria, and reporting templates.

Team Leadership:

Mentor junior and senior inspection personnel. Review technical work and provide constructive feedback that improves accuracy and consistency.

Risk Evaluation:

Assess the severity of defects and determine whether immediate repair, additional testing, continued monitoring, or replacement is required.

Stakeholder Management:

Present inspection findings and engineering recommendations to clients, contractors, maintenance teams, and internal management.

You can explain why an asset requires corrective action, not simply state that it has failed an inspection.

Compliance Support:

Ensure inspection activities align with applicable UK regulations, recognised engineering standards, client specifications, and internal quality procedures.

What We Are Looking For:

Experience:

At least 7 years of experience in engineering inspection, mechanical integrity, asset assurance, maintenance engineering, or a related technical discipline.

Qualifications:

A degree or recognised technical qualification in Mechanical Engineering, Materials Engineering, Structural Engineering, or a closely related field.

Technical Knowledge:

Strong understanding of inspection methods, mechanical equipment, defect assessment, maintenance requirements, and asset integrity principles.

Professional Status:

Chartered Engineer status or active progress toward professional registration would be an advantage.

Leadership:

Previous experience mentoring engineers, coordinating inspection teams, reviewing technical reports, or leading complex engineering assignments.

Industry Knowledge:

Working knowledge of relevant UK health and safety requirements, inspection regulations, engineering codes, and quality management systems.

Communication Skills:

Strong written and verbal English skills are required for technical reporting, client meetings, and engineering discussions.

Mindset:

You are methodical, practical, and safety focused. You know when to recommend immediate intervention and when an asset can remain in service under a controlled inspection and maintenance plan.

Pay: £64,498.00-£85,000.00 per year

Work Location: In person
