Welding Inspector (CSWIP/CWI)

Technical Governance & Strategic Oversight:Establish, enforce, and systematically update company-wide welding protocols, operational standards, and strategic technical guidelines across pressure equipment and structural fabrication activities.
Documentation Control & Engineering Support:Author, evaluate, validate, and control crucial technical records-including Welding Procedure Specifications (WPS), Procedure Qualification Records (PQR/WPQR), welder qualification matrices, weld maps, repair protocols, and shop-floor instructions.
Quality Assurance & NDE Coordination:Direct comprehensive inspection operations across all fabrication stages (pre-fitup, in-process, visual checks, dimensional verification, and final release). Oversee Non-Destructive Examination (NDE) execution (VT, PT, MT, UT, RT) with internal QA teams and external subcontractors, ensuring zero post-blasting rework.
ASME U Stamp Readiness & System Leadership:Drive internal gap analysis for ASME Section VIII Div 1 & Section IX compliance. Develop and embed the ASME Quality Control Manual, coordinate joint reviews with Authorized Inspection Agencies (AIA) and Authorized Inspectors (AI), and manage certification mark protocols.
ASME Maintenance & Project Lifecycle Oversight:Safeguard continuous code compliance post-certification, managing AI hold points, material traceability (P-Numbers, impact testing, corrosion allowance), pressure test witnessing, and compilation of Manufacturer's Data Reports (MDR).
Process Optimization & Continuous Improvement:Analyze root causes to minimize weld defect rates and NDE rejections. Champion modern joint designs, automation options, and sequence optimization while delivering specialized technical training for welders, QC inspectors, and production staff.
Compliance, EHS & Resource Management:Ensure strict adherence to project specifications, client standards, Method Statements, and Inspection & Test Plans (ITP). Allocate welding personnel and equipment resources efficiently to maintain safe workshop practices and project delivery schedules.
