Scope of Work

• Evaluate refrigerated and temperature-controlled cargo documentation, such as reefer temperature logs and condition records, to assess compliance and identify potential issues.
• Analyze finished-vehicle and food transport evidence, including damage reports and compliance documents, to determine condition, causation, and potential losses.
• Perform remote assessments of container integrity, cargo securing methods, and lashing arrangements using photographic and written shipment records.
• Review hatch-cover inspection reports and related marine cargo documentation to assess sealing, weatherproofing, and compliance with safety standards.
• Write clear, professional surveyor findings and damage attributions, providing detailed reasoning for each conclusion as would be required in a signed surveyor's report.
• Deliver structured, written feedback to support the training and evaluation of advanced AI models focused on cargo logistics and compliance.

• Strong analytical judgment and a meticulous approach to documentation review and report writing.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to provide clear, well-reasoned explanations for technical findings.
• Familiarity with international transportation compliance standards and best practices for cargo condition and securing.
