Eliminate the Unknown
At iScope our reputation for independent advice and meticulous attention to detail is recognised across the region. Trusted by industry leaders such as BUMA, Dalrymple Bay Coal Terminal, and Glencore, we’re known for our excellence in scoping, project coordination, structural repair, and delivery of welding qualification and training. Knowledge is power and the key to eliminating unknown risks before it’s too late.
With over 50 years combined experience, our team of specialists invest in the entire scoping process from analysis, through to technical support, budgeting, and weekly inspections. Our preventative approach is evident through our risk mitigation strategies that identify, monitor, and evaluate risks and consequences. We believe that developing a scope is the most important stage in a project roadmap. With our practical skillset and qualified specialists, we maximise the return on our clients’ assets through our reliable processes, attention to detail and high-quality procedures.
In celebrating our 5th Birthday, we are proud to announce our relocation to a new premises which includes a larger dedicated training facility, designed to support both theoretical learning and hands-on practical skill development. This is an important milestone in our commitment to delivering high-quality training, educating industry-ready professionals, and raising the benchmark of industry standards across the region. This expansion is more than just a move; It’s a strategic investment in the future of vocational training driven by our core belief that education should be the foundation of every skilled tradesperson.
As the demand for highly skilled, job-ready tradespeople continues to rise, our ability to accommodate more learners is essential. To this end, the new premises will feature additional welding bays, allowing us to expand hands-on training capacity. This improvement directly supports our mission to upskill people and produce competent, confident trades professionals who meet the highest standards of safety, precision, and performance.
Our Managing Director Craig Evans is deeply committed to delivering the highest quality in training and takes a proactive approach to preparing tradespeople for the evolving demands of the industry. “With ongoing skill shortages impacting the region, we’re seeing firsthand the challenges that arise when managing staff with varied training backgrounds,” he explains. “When hiring new members that were trained interstate or overseas, it’s essential to ensure their skills and knowledge align with current industry standards. At iScope, we are fully invested in education, and if fabrication workshops are open to understanding the reasoning behind our recommendations, they stand to gain significantly.”
We are also committed to contributing positively to the broader industry by consistently investing in innovation and training resources. Our efforts are not limited to our immediate geographic area; we are also open to building global relationships. In 2023, we were engaged by Vulcan Industrial to provide training and technical advice in India. It was an extremely beneficial trip that assisted in fine-tuning their current procedures and aligned them with relevant fabrication, welding standards and industry codes.
Our highly experienced Operations Manager, Clancy Crerar is qualified to an International Welding Inspector Standard and will be conducting welder training & qualification modules at our new location. When you earn a Qualification Certificate from iScope you can trust that you have received the highest quality in education. Clancy also plays a key role across the Bowen Basin, working with major mining houses to conduct structural inspections and develop tailored repair strategies for critical assets. Together, Craig and Clancy form a dynamic team, constantly challenging each other to achieve the best outcomes for clients while eliminating the unknown.
Our training model is deeply influenced by a mentorship approach that considers the entire development cycle of a tradesperson. From early theory to advanced application, and from first-day beginners to experienced workers seeking further refinement, our trainers offer support each step of the journey. This philosophy of complete-cycle support fosters long-term professional growth and enables us to maintain consistently high standards.
Central to this vision is the leadership and example of Craig, whose passion for a job well done resonates throughout iScope. Craig has long championed the idea that doing something well means more than technical skill, it requires integrity, consistency, and pride in workmanship. His values set the tone for an environment where every tradesperson is encouraged to take pride in their progress and push themselves toward their full potential.
Consistency has been the cornerstone of our growth. Whether it’s the quality of our scope of works, transparency in project coordination, or high quality of our training standards, we believe in doing things properly every time. That reliability is what our industry at large have come to expect and respect. It’s not about shortcuts or ticking boxes; it’s about being a leader in the industry who can be trusted to deliver high-quality services. As we open the doors to our new premises in mid July, we do so with a renewed sense of purpose and an unwavering commitment to excellence.
