QC Inspector, Welding & Painting

• Review and understand approved drawings specifications Inspection & Test Plans (ITPs) welding procedure specifications (WPS/PQR) and painting/coating procedures before starting inspection activities.
• Verify welder and welding operator qualifications (WPQ) continuity records and validity of certifications before allowing welding.
• Check material identification and traceability including pipes fittings flanges plates structural sections and consumables against MTCs and project specifications.
• Inspect joint fit-up alignment cleanliness bevel preparation gap and root opening prior to welding.
• Monitor welding in progress including preheat interpass temperature welding parameters consumable control (baking storage issue) shielding gas and compliance with the approved WPS.
• Carry out visual inspection of completed welds and verify compliance with acceptance criteria (e.g. ASME B31.3 ASME IX AWS D1.1 API 1104 as applicable).
• Maintain weld maps weld logs welder performance records and joint traceability.
• Coordinate NDT activities (RT UT MT PT PMI hardness testing ferrite testing) with NDT contractors review reports and radiographs and follow up on repairs and re-tests.
• Witness post-weld heat treatment (PWHT) and review heat treatment charts and records.
• Witness and verify hydrostatic and pneumatic pressure tests in coordination with the piping and commissioning teams.
• Verify weld repair procedures repair rates and welder performance and recommend corrective actions or welder re-qualification where needed.
• Inspect surface preparation prior to coating including cleanliness grade surface profile soluble salts dust and ambient conditions (dew point relative humidity surface and air temperature).
• Verify paint materials batch numbers shelf life mixing thinning pot life and storage conditions against the manufacturers data sheets and approved coating system.
• Measure and record wet film thickness (WFT) and dry film thickness (DFT) on each coat and check for defects such as runs sags pinholes holidays and poor adhesion.
• Perform holiday detection (spark testing) and adhesion testing on coatings linings and buried or underground lines as required.
• Inspect passive fire protection insulation and field joint coating works where applicable.
• Carry out multidiscipline QC inspections as assigned on fabrication erection installation and pre-commissioning activities in line with the project ITPs.
• Issue review and close Non-Conformance Reports (NCRs) punch-list items and corrective action requests and follow up until closure.
• Participate in third-party and client inspections hold-point and witness-point notifications and audits and raise Requests for Inspection (RFIs) accurately.
• Prepare and maintain inspection reports checksheets calibration records daily/weekly QC reports and the final quality dossier (as-built and turnover documentation).
• Ensure inspection tools and equipment (gauges DFT meters hi-lo gauges pit gauges welding multi-gauges thermometers hygrometers) are calibrated and in good condition.
• Follow the Permit-to-Work system HSE rules and site procedures at all times; participate in toolbox talks and stop work when unsafe conditions or quality risks are identified.
• Provide guidance and feedback to welders painters and supervisors on quality requirements and promote a right-first-time culture.
