ASME Pressure Vessel Quality Assurance Technician

Role overview

You will report to the Director of Operations and serve as a shop-floor guardian of ASME code compliance. Your day moves between fabrication bays, the South Inventory Lot, and documentation stations—verifying layouts, fit-ups, and welds; partnering with Quality Control and Receiving; and keeping projects on schedule with disciplined time management.

A day in the life

Start with UG-90 floor audits to confirm layout, fit-up, plate layout, and weld quality. Head to the South Inventory Lot to oversee drop materials. Sync with the Quality Control Manager to validate in-process checkpoints, then touch base with the Receiving Specialist to confirm materials and paperwork are spot-on. Before day’s end, you’ll close hold points, file MTRs with calculations and prints, and scan job packages to meet record-retention rules—keeping everything AI-ready.
