The ideal candidate will conduct all inspection activities in strict adherence to client specifications, international standards, regulatory mandates, and internal quality protocols.
Oversee and execute critical duties encompassing strategic planning, operational management, and cross-functional collaboration to drive organizational objectives forward. Lead initiatives that enhance efficiency, productivity, and innovation while ensuring alignment with company policies and industry standards. Collaborate with stakeholders to identify opportunities for growth, streamline processes, and mitigate risks. Monitor performance metrics, provide data-driven insights, and implement corrective actions as needed to maintain high standards of excellence. Serve as a liaison between departments to facilitate seamless communication and foster a culture of accountability and continuous improvement. Ensure compliance with regulatory requirements and uphold ethical business practices in all endeavors.
Performs thorough inspection and testing procedures to ensure compliance with established standards and specifications. Evaluates materials, components, and finished products to identify defects, deviations, or non-conformities. Documents findings meticulously, including detailed reports and corrective action requests as necessary. Collaborates with cross-functional teams to address quality issues and implement improvements. Maintains accurate records of inspection results and test outcomes for audits and regulatory compliance. Adheres to safety protocols and industry regulations throughout all inspection and testing activities.
Convene and oversee non-destructive testing (NDT) inspections employing a range of methodologies such as visual, ultrasonic, radiographic, magnetic particle, and liquid penetrant testing to evaluate material integrity and detect defects.
Conducts ultrasonic testing (UT) to detect internal flaws and measure material thickness in accordance with established industry standards and procedures. Utilizes specialized equipment to generate and interpret high-frequency sound waves, ensuring accurate assessment of structural integrity. Prepares detailed reports summarizing findings, including defect characterization and measurement data, while maintaining compliance with safety and quality protocols. Requires proficiency in UT techniques, calibration of testing instruments, and adherence to regulatory requirements, such as AUNT or AWS standards. Collaborates with cross-functional teams to address discrepancies and recommend corrective actions, contributing to overall quality assurance and risk mitigation efforts.
Magnetic Particle Testing (MT) is a non-destructive inspection technique utilized to identify surface and near-surface discontinuities in ferromagnetic materials. Qualified personnel must possess a comprehensive understanding of relevant industry standards, such as ASTM E1444 or ISO 9934, and demonstrate proficiency in operating MT equipment, interpreting indications, and documenting findings accurately. Responsibilities include preparing test surfaces, applying magnetic particles, evaluating indications, and ensuring compliance with safety protocols throughout the inspection process.
Liquid Penetrant Testing (PT) involves the application of a liquid penetrant to the surface of a material or component to detect surface-breaking discontinuities. The penetrant is drawn into any flaws by capillary action, and after a dwell time, excess penetrant is removed. A developer is then applied to draw out the penetrant from the defects, making them visible under appropriate lighting conditions. This method is widely utilized for identifying cracks, porosity, laps, seams, and other surface imperfections in non-porous materials, particularly in industries such as aerospace, automotive, manufacturing, and construction. Proficiency in PT techniques, adherence to industry standards (e.g., ASTM E1417, ASHE Section V), and meticulous attention to detail are essential for accurate inspection and reporting.
Radiographic Testing (RT) is a non-destructive examination technique utilized to inspect materials and welds for internal flaws, such as voids, cracks, or inclusions. This method involves exposing the test object to ionizing radiation, typically X-rays or gamma rays, which penetrate the material and produce a radiographic image on a detector or film. Qualified Level II or Level III RT personnel, certified per industry standards such as AUNT TC-1A or NAS-410, perform the evaluation by interpreting these images to identify discontinuities. This role requires meticulous attention to safety protocols due to radiation hazards, as well as proficiency in operating radiographic equipment, selecting appropriate exposure parameters, and ensuring compliance with regulatory and quality assurance requirements. Additionally, individuals in this position must maintain detailed records of inspections and report findings accurately to stakeholders.
Visual Testing (VT) is a non-destructive evaluation method employed to identify surface discontinuities, flaws, or irregularities in materials, components, or structures through direct visual examination, often aided by tools such as magnifying glasses, borescopes, or specialized lighting. This technique is critical for ensuring compliance with industry standards and specifications, as it allows for the detection of defects like cracks, corrosion, misalignments, or improper assembly that could compromise structural integrity. Candidates must possess strong attention to detail, familiarity with applicable codes and standards (e.g., ASHE, ASTM, ISO), and prior hands-on experience in VT or related inspection methodologies. Additionally, proficiency in interpreting technical drawings, the ability to document findings accurately, and effective communication skills are essential to report discrepancies and recommend corrective actions when necessary.
Eddy Current Testing (ECT) is a non-destructive inspection method employed to detect surface and near-surface flaws in conductive materials. This technique utilizes electromagnetic induction to identify discontinuities such as cracks, corrosion, and material inconsistencies. Professionals conducting ECT must possess expertise in interpreting signal responses, calibrating equipment, and adhering to industry-specific standards and safety protocols. Responsibilities include preparing test surfaces, selecting appropriate probes, and documenting inspection findings with precision. Proficiency in relevant software for data analysis and reporting is also required to ensure accurate and reliable assessments.
Phased Array Ultrasonic Testing (PART) is utilized where appropriate, ensuring comprehensive inspection and evaluation of materials and structures.
Time of Flight Diffraction (TOLD), when applicable, utilizes ultrasonic testing to detect flaws in welded joints and other critical components. This method involves transmitting ultrasonic waves through a material to measure the time it takes for the waves to reflect, thereby identifying discontinuities such as cracks or incomplete fusion. Qualified personnel must possess certification in TOLD Level 2 or higher, along with proficiency in interpreting data and assessing structural integrity. Responsibilities include conducting inspections, documenting findings, and ensuring compliance with industry standards and safety protocols.
Conduct thorough inspections of pressure vessels, piping systems, storage tanks, structural steel components, welds, and process equipment to ensure compliance with safety and quality standards.
Assess inspection results to ascertain compliance with relevant acceptance criteria.
Examine materials, components, and structures to detect defects, discontinuities, corrosion, erosion, and structural irregularities.
To apply, kindly submit your application through the designated method outlined in the job posting.
