Coating inspectors play a crucial role in protecting energy infrastructure, including pipelines, offshore platforms, refineries, and storage tanks, from corrosion and environmental degradation. They inspect, test, and verify the application of protective coatings to ensure compliance with industry standards and project specifications. Their expertise helps prevent structural failures, extend asset lifespan, and reduce maintenance costs.

This role requires knowledge of surface preparation techniques, coating materials, and industry standards such as NACE, SSPC, and ISO. Coating inspectors collaborate with engineers, project managers, and maintenance teams to ensure quality control and compliance. A career in coating inspection offers opportunities to work in diverse environments, from offshore rigs to industrial plants and renewable energy projects.
