Surveyor / Senior Surveyor | Lloyd’s Register (Hull)

The Opportunity

Are you ready to “engineer a safer world” from the heart of the UK’s busiest port complex? Lloyd’s Register (LR), a leading international technical professional service provider, is seeking a Surveyor or Senior Surveyor to join their Hull team (Springfield Way, Anlaby). This isn’t just a job; it’s a role with a “strong sense of purpose,” as LR is wholly owned by a global charity dedicated to safety at sea. You’ll be joining a values-driven organization that offers a rare 15% matched pension, hybrid working, and a collaborative environment that celebrates diversity. Whether you are an experienced surveyor or a marine professional looking to transition ashore, this role places you at the forefront of the “Thriving Ocean Economy,” ensuring the assets that power global trade operate to the highest levels of safety and performance.

Key Responsibilities & Technical Standards

• Classification Surveys: Performing rigorous inspections on new construction projects and in-service vessels to ensure they meet LR Rules and Regulations.

• Global Auditing: Conducting mandatory ISM (Safety Management), ISPS (Security), and MLC (Maritime Labour) audits to protect crews and assets.

• Component Inspection: Carrying out Marine Equipment and Component (MEC) inspections at manufacturers’ works across the Hull region and occasionally beyond.

• Technical Troubleshooting: Identifying engineering defects and presenting innovative, user-friendly solutions to internal and external clients.

• Regulatory Compliance: Ensuring all activities align with national and international maritime legislation and accreditation schemes.

• Professional Development: Maintaining chartered or incorporated engineer status through continuous learning and technical competency training.

The Role

In this position, you are a technical guardian of the maritime world. Your day is a hybrid of deep-tech analysis and high-level project management. You might spend your morning at a local shipyard inspecting a vessel’s structural integrity and your afternoon in the office (or home) drafting a technical report on marine equipment specifications. You aren’t just an inspector; you are a trusted advisor. You use a combination of theoretical engineering knowledge and practical sea-going experience to make timely, safety-critical decisions. Success in this role requires a “team spirit” and the ability to communicate complex technical ideas to stakeholders from diverse cultural and professional backgrounds.

Sector Insight: The “Maritime Gateway” DNA

As you cluster this fifty-seventh role, notice how it serves as the technical backbone for Hull’s economy:

• The “Port City” Anchor: This role is the specialized counterpart to your Project Surveyor (Hull City Council). While the Council surveyor manages the city’s “land-based” safety, the LR Surveyor manages the “sea-based” assets that make Hull a global gateway.

• Premium Benefits: The 15% matched pension is the highest in your entire dataset so far, surpassing even the Home Manager (Bupa) and Reckitt offerings, reflecting the elite status of “Class Society” employment.

• STEM Integration: This role completes the bridge between your Second in Science (Trinity House)—who trains future mariners—and the Mechanical Reliability Engineer (Cargill)—who manages the heavy machinery at the ports.
