EEHA Auditor

An EEHA Auditor carries out safety inspections on electrical equipment used in specialist areas such as mining and gas production. You might check that electrical systems meet safety standards for hazardous areas where extra precautions are necessary. EEHA Auditors conduct inspections to make sure equipment and systems meet compliance standards and may issue safety certificates.

EEHA Auditors should be able to follow correct procedures during their work day and have excellent attention to detail. It’s important that you have good communication skills and are able to liaise with people from a range of backgrounds. You’ll need to understand relevant compliance laws and be able to make safety a priority.
