Rope Access Technician
Achieve new heights
Are you an outdoor person? Not afraid of heights? Adventurous enough to work at heights of 10, 30 or even 60 meters? Was your answer yes to all of the above? Become a rope access technician!
Using ropes, we reach work sites at height. When maintenance or inspection at height is needed, it is usually performed with scaffolding or aerial work platforms. But sometimes these conventional methods are not feasible. At times like these, we use rope access. We do this using ropes, climbing techniques and safety equipment.

We apply the IRATA standards.
