Job Description

About the Role:

We are hiring a Fall Protection Field Inspector / Installer / QA-QC Technician to support the inspection, installation, service, and documentation of fall protection systems.

The right candidate will have a strong field, inspection, mechanical, construction, or QA/QC background and the ability to learn specialized fall protection systems through company-provided training.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys hands-on field work, technical problem-solving, working from drawings and specifications, using tools and measuring equipment, taking clear photos and field notes, and preparing accurate reports.

Most work is local at customer sites, rooftops, industrial facilities, and construction environments. Travel is limited, although occasional out-of-area travel may be required for select projects, service work, or training.

What You Will Do:

· Inspect, install, service, and maintain fall protection systems, including anchors, lifelines, guardrails, rigid rail systems, access platforms, safety gates, ladders, and related equipment.

· Review drawings, shop drawings, layout plans, specifications, anchor schedules, manufacturer instructions, and project requirements.

· Inspect systems for damaged, worn, missing, improperly installed, or non-compliant components.

· Verify installation details such as substrate condition, fasteners, torque, embedment, spacing, labels, load ratings, user capacity, waterproofing, and system layout.

· Take clear photos, measurements, serial numbers, asset information, location details, and field notes to support inspection and installation records.

· Prepare inspection reports, service reports, QA/QC records, deficiency reports, jobsite notes, and final documentation.

· Identify and document safety-critical issues, nonconformances, maintenance items, missing labels, corrosion, cracking, deformation, or other damage.

· Support QA/QC processes such as inspection checklists, receiving inspections, in-process inspections, final acceptance, corrective action follow-up, and documentation control.

· Review and organize manuals, product data, certificates of conformance, calibration records, torque logs, pull-test logs, test reports, and installation records.

· Communicate professionally with customers, supervisors, project managers, and team members regarding work progress, jobsite conditions, inspection findings, and safety concerns.

· Recognize jobsite hazards and follow company procedures, project requirements, and applicable safety standards.

Required Qualifications:

· Strong verbal and written communication skills.

· Strong attention to detail and ability to document work accurately.

· Ability to read and interpret drawings, specifications, manufacturer instructions, and inspection criteria.
