Our client, a leading, independent certification body, requires the services of experienced, tertiary qualified personnel to conduct domestic and international assessments.

The role focusses on the delivery of technical assessments of current and applicant firms seeking certification to supply their product to the relevant Australian and New Zealand standard.

The part-time nature of the work of the assessor, combined with the possibility of overseas travel, makes for a very interesting work / life balance.

Remuneration and benefits reflect this.

Whilst there is no minimum time commitment, current team members may work anywhere between say 40 to 100 hours per month on average (including travel). This can flex up and down depending on the needs of the business and the individual assessor.

Assessors are able to undertake much of the report writing activity from home and candidates from across Australia are invited to apply.
