Welding Inspector

1. Welding Inspection & Monitoring

• Inspect welds to ensure compliance with applicable codes, standards, and specifications (ASME, AWS, API, ISO, etc.).
  
• Verify welding parameters (voltage, current, speed, preheat, interpass temperature).
  
• Conduct visual and dimensional inspection of welds before, during, and after welding.
  

2. Documentation & Reporting

• Review and approve Welding Procedure Specifications (WPS), Procedure Qualification Records (PQR), and Welder Qualification Records (WQTR).
  
• Maintain inspection records, weld maps, and generate detailed inspection reports.
  
• Report non-conformances and ensure corrective and preventive actions are implemented.
  

3. Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) Coordination

• Perform or witness NDT methods (VT, PT, MT, UT, RT) as required.
  
• Coordinate with NDT technicians and validate inspection results.
  

4. Quality Assurance & Compliance

• Ensure welding activities are carried out in accordance with quality standards, safety requirements, and project specifications.
  
• Verify calibration of welding and measuring equipment.
  
• Ensure proper handling, storage, and use of welding consumables.
  

5. Welder Qualification & Supervision

• Witness welder qualification tests and maintain records.
  
• Guide and support welders in following approved procedures.
  
• Verify that only qualified welders are assigned for welding activities.
  

6. Safety & Risk Management

• Monitor welding operations to ensure adherence to safety regulations (fire prevention, PPE usage, confined space safety).
  
• Identify hazards and recommend risk mitigation measures.
  

7. Coordination & Communication

• Liaise with project engineers, QA/QC teams, and clients for inspection-related matters.
  
• Provide technical support to resolve welding issues on site.
  
• Participate in project meetings and quality audits.
