Is Salvage Management the Right Career for You?
Monday, October 19, 2009
In this fast paced world it only takes a minute for your supposedly safe career to crash and you to end up jobless. It wasn’t until the global financial meltdown last year that we fully realized this. Now we see how quickly those on top can fall to the bottom and this realization has put a whole new spotlight on the true recession-proof careers out there. Careers like those in the salvage industry.
But just because salvage and salvage management offer you stable career opportunities even in the midst of an economic downturn doesn’t mean they are the right career path for you. Here are just a few of the different choices within the salvage field for employment:
Salvor: As a salvor, you must be intimately familiar with the insurance industry, be creative, have a good eye for reusable materials and be well-versed in the basic workings of many industries. Salvors must be able to find salvage out of junk, affix a proper fair market value to it and coordinate its care.
Auction Coordinator: As an auction coordinator, you would be responsible for taking pictures of the salvage and posting them on an online auction site, writing a description of the salvage that creates the opportunity for transparency in the transaction and get the word out about the auction.
Salvage Specialist: As the salvage specialist, you are charged with the responsibility of transferring titles from the old owner to the new owner based on local laws and regulations. Salvage specialists handle all paperwork associated with the transfer and make sure it is done correctly.
Salvage Engineer: As a salvage engineer, you must test the stability and assess the extent of damage of the salvage. Your job is to ensure that it is safe to use in the future.
