To interpret the suitability of products and processes against the designated specification requirements at scheduled and ad-hoc intervals. The role is primarily responsible for reporting using advanced NDT techniques, accurate detection, characterization, and supporting safe and reliable project execution. Responsible for advanced NDT technical review, verification of inspection technique suitability, independent assessment of contractor inspection outputs, and support to weld quality decisions during project execution.
Job Responsibility
Engage with external Contractors to perform PAUT/TOFD and advance NDT techniques and perform defect sizing, characterization
Review and technically assess contractor-issued NDT reports, interpretation records, images, and supporting inspection data to confirm adequacy, traceability, and compliance prior to acceptance
Review and verify NDT procedures, technique sheets, personnel certifications, calibration records, equipment validity, and qualification records prior to commencement of inspection activities
Ensure full traceability between weld maps, line/component identification, NDT reports, repair history, final inspection status, and supporting quality records
Interpret advance NDT data and evaluate indications against the applicable acceptance criteria (ASME, API, Project specs.) and prepare and accurate inspection reports with supporting data/images
Engaging contractors and applicable third-party organizations with a professional approach and maintain a good working level relationship
Review contractors documented quality deliverables in accordance with the requirements and expectations of COMPANY and provide clear, concise output to the applicable quality focal point
Evaluate the suitability of products and processes at key stages against the prescribed specification requirements and is effectively implemented
Ensure NDE traceability of inspected welds and components
Continuously monitor the quality of works in progress at site and at the EPC Contractor fabrication workshop against the applicable NDT Procedure and COMPANY technical specification
Verify NDT calibration blocks, reference standards, and equipment validity
Ensure that the latest revision of project quality documentation is available, and that records of Product and process conformance are maintained in accordance with the document and record control requirements
Prepare a daily report summarizing the salient inspection points and quality concerns and coordinate directly with the assigned quality focal point regarding any significant issues identified
Manage and participate in site quality verification activities (i.e. Quality Walkabout and Procurement Surveillance) and document results using the applicable inspection report template
Record and facilitate the follow-up of product related non-conformance results
Prepare and present topics during the annual quality training program and prepare discipline quality specific training material when requested by the quality focal point
Requirements
