An Independent Engineer, also known as the Lender's Engineer, is a term often given to the engineering representative of the lender, or financier, of a large capital project. The key is to be independent so that opinions on the technical aspects of the project are not biased either in favor of the lenders or the developer/owners. In order to maintain independence, the Independent Engineer is typically selected by the lender, but paid by the developer/owner.

Technical Audit

Before you embark on a partnership with a new supplier, or perhaps if you wish to improve the standards of an existing supplier, it is important to review the factory’s performance and organization to ensure the quality level meets your requirements.

A Technical Audit is a thorough verification of a supplier’s manufacturing processes and quality control systems to provide confidence that your standards will be met or that any shortfalls will be resolved.
