Expression of Interest

Candidate INAB Technical Experts/Technical Assessors

Candidates should ideally have a third level qualification and greater than 5 years’ experience working in the applicable sector, but the level of qualification depends on the sector in question. Formal assessor training and previous experience working with an accreditation body would be a distinct advantage, but is not an absolute requirement.

If interested, please email inab@inab.ie with "Assessor expression of interest" including the discipline, e.g. 'calibration,' 'testing,' 'certification,' etc. in the subject line.
In the body of the email, please include details of experience and qualifications in the discipline involved.

A formal qualification procedure is in place and all applicants are evaluated against documented criteria and current demand.

Submission of an expression of interest is no guarantee of acceptance.  Nor does it create any contractual obligation.

Terms and Conditions

Please see the  terms and conditions for contracting INAB assessors and experts. These T&Cs are applicable to all assessors and are not negotiated further.
