What is an entry level API 653 inspector?

Entry Level API 653 Inspectors are professionals who perform inspections, repairs, alterations, and maintenance on aboveground storage tanks in accordance with the API 653 standard. They are typically new to the field or have limited experience but have met the minimum requirements to become certified by the American Petroleum Institute (API). Their role includes assessing tank integrity, ensuring compliance with safety regulations, and documenting inspection results. Entry level inspectors usually work under the supervision of more experienced inspectors as they build their skills and knowledge.
