Hire a CompEx Inspector / Ex Specialist
Hire a CompEx inspector for hazardous area projects — offshore, onshore and industrial. Interim, ad-hoc or project-based support when you need certified Ex competence on the ground, fast.
Assignments I take on — in detail
One certified pair of hands across electrical, instrumentation, HVAC and ATEX work — inspection, supervision and representation. Pick a single task or combine several; scope and fee are agreed up front.
E&I Inspection
Electrical & instrumentation checksOn-site inspection of electrical and instrumentation systems — from drawings or on an existing installation. Compliance check, punch list and handover preparation. Useful wherever you have no dedicated technical representation on site.
General industryFAT / SAT
Factory & site acceptance testsRunning Factory and Site Acceptance Tests, or representing you at them — switchboards, MCCs, control systems and HVAC, witnessed and documented on your behalf. If you can't attend in person, I protect your interests.
General industryATEX Inspection
To IEC 60079-17Periodic inspection of Ex equipment at visual, close and detailed grades. Photo-documented report, prioritised defect list and repair recommendations. More on the Ex inspection page.
ATEX specificProject Management
Technical project leadTechnical project management for small and mid-size electrical and HVAC works — design review, subcontractor coordination, milestone tracking and reporting, with real on-site control rather than remote box-ticking.
Project managementSite Supervision
On-site technical oversightOn-site supervision of the works on your behalf — I check that they follow the drawings, specifications and safety rules. Valuable when you have no technical presence at the site day to day.
General industrySite Representative
Client representation on siteRepresenting your interests towards subcontractors, authorities and design offices — decision preparation, early flagging of problems and daily reporting. Especially useful for remote or overseas clients.
RepresentationFault Finding
TroubleshootingSystematic fault finding on electrical and HVAC systems — especially recurring, hard-to-pin-down faults. Not guesswork: structured investigation, measurements and documented analysis, even in complex systems.
General industryHVAC Supervision
Industrial ventilation & coolingDesign review, installation supervision and handover of industrial HVAC. ATEX-critical: ventilation of a hazardous area directly affects its zone classification and Ex safety, so it is treated as part of the picture.
General industryConstruction Delivery
Technical coordinationPartner contractors carry out the physical work; I hold the technical coordination, ATEX and quality compliance, and the handover documentation. Technical responsibility in one hand — one point of contact for you.
Project managementCertified competence, kept current
Recent high-voltage refresher training — safe isolation, absence-of-voltage testing and applying portable earthing on switchgear, in full arc-flash PPE. The certificates stay current so the work on your site is backed by up-to-date, hands-on practice.
When it helps to bring in a specialist
- A turnaround or shutdown needs extra certified Ex inspection capacity.
- A project needs independent hazardous area verification of equipment or installations.
- Your team is strong but lacks dedicated Ex depth for a specific task.
- You need a second, independent opinion before an audit or handover.
How the engagement works
Interim
Cover a gap or a peak with certified Ex inspection for a defined period.
Ad-hoc
A single inspection, review or expert opinion — scoped and delivered without a long commitment.
Project / turnaround
Planned support across a project or shutdown, with prioritised findings you can schedule.

- Electrical & mechanical maintenance background
- Independent, findings-first approach
Practical delivery
- Photo-documented, prioritised reports
- Clear split of inspection vs. authorised repair
- Input to your inspection strategy

Frequently asked questions
Do you work offshore?
Yes — offshore and onshore oil & gas is the core of 20+ years of field experience, alongside general industry.
Can you cover a short turnaround?
Yes. Interim and project-based engagements are designed exactly for turnarounds and shutdowns, with prioritised findings.
Do you carry out the repairs too?
Yes, within the rules — repairs to IEC 60079-19 with manufacturer-approved methods and parts, and I support the whole process. A like-for-like replacement of a certified component (for example a water-damaged Ex junction box) I can do directly, restoring the system’s integrity; jobs that need the OEM or an authorised repair facility I flag and help coordinate.
