Join the Mevas Network of Freelance Equipment Inspectors
Mevas is continuously looking for skilled freelance machinery inspectors and technical experts to expand our international team. If you have hands-on experience with heavy machinery and want flexible, project-based work, we’d love to hear from you!
So you should know off the top of your head what a load-sensing pump is and how a hydrostatic drive or a torque converter transmission works. Exhaust aftertreatment in construction machinery shouldn’t be anything new to you.
Our Concept and Basic Requirements
Our goal is to build a network of local inspectors across many countries, especially in regions with active markets for used construction and industrial machinery. This avoids long travel distances for technicians and allows for faster, more affordable inspections. Please note: We do not offer full-time employment. The flow of inspection work varies, making this ideal for freelancers or part-time cooperation.
