IACS Ltd, the leading inspection, engineering, and testing consultancy specialising in pipeline construction, has unveiled a bespoke, fast-track training programme for pipeline inspectors.
The programme has been developed to address the urgent need to attract talent to the industry. It is designed specifically to support individuals who are new to the role but have the skills that can be easily transferred into the profession.
Teaching vital skills, the fast-track programme will provide the qualifications required to become a BGAS qualified Pipeline Inspector, alongside the opportunity to join the IACS team.
Laura Hewitt, Director at IACS, comments:
“At IACS, we have ambitious plans to promote the role of Pipeline Inspectors, to attract more people into positions and also to support existing inspectors as they develop in their careers.
“IACS T&E, our training and education subsidiary, already facilitates a bespoke apprenticeship that supports those that are completely new to the industry. The core difference between this offering and our fast-track programme is the candidates that will be attracted to the training.
“Our goal is to welcome individuals who have experience of working in similar environments alongside the organisational, communication and reporting skills that are vital to this role.
"We believe that this fast-track programme for pipeline inspectors is a further example of how the business is quickly and efficiently scaling up the number of qualified professionals, so that they can play a crucial part in ensuring the safety and integrity of pipelines and our support our transition to green energy.”
