This is a high-impact position where you will lead a team of inspectors, manage rigorous certification programs, and serve as a key member of the Plant Leadership Team.

• Inspection Management: Oversee all internal and outsourced non-destructive testing (NDT), including Magnetic Particle and Ultrasonic testing, and perform direct inspections of welds, dimensions, and coatings.
• Liaison & Collaboration: Serve as the primary point of contact for regulatory representatives and customer engineers, scheduling inspections and resolving technical concerns professionally.
• Process Documentation: Maintain the Quality Control Manual and ensure accurate project documentation and hold-point logs are filed in a timely manner.
• Strategic Planning: Participate as a member of the Plant Leadership Team to align quality standards with production schedules and continuous improvement goals.
  

Qualifications:

• Certifications: Current Certified Welding Inspector (CWI) certification is required.
• Experience: 5 years’ experience leading a quality control function involving welding in a heavy manufacturing environment.
• Technical Knowledge: Strong understanding of structural steel fabrication, blueprints, shop drawings, and NDT methods.
