Familiarity with inspection software, digital reporting tools, and equipment such as moisture meters or thermal cameras is valuable. Attention to detail, problem-solving abilities, and effective communication skills help inspectors identify issues, document findings, and collaborate with facility teams. These competencies are vital for ensuring facilities remain safe, compliant, and well-maintained.
