Plant Inspector

ABOUT THE BUSINESS
Consolidated Plant Services works with tier one construction contractors, hire companies and subcontractors across the industry to ensure effective, compliant and reliable plant and equipment mobilisation and maintenance. We are currently the only independent on-boarding plant inspection company in Australia, actively involved in the changes to and roll out of standards. We facilitate a streamlined transition between plant procurement and operation by pre-approving equipment before it gets to site, ultimately mitigating the risk of mobilising non-compliant plant and plant failure onsite. CPS is currently working on a number of major infrastructure projects including the Level Crossing Removal Program and West Gate Tunnel Project, and working with key plant hire companies in managing their maintenance and compliance. We offer our employees an exciting and rewarding work environment in which to broaden their knowledge of the Australian civil construction industry and work with the major players within it.
