What are the responsibilities and job description for the Electrical and Instrumentation Field Inspector (Natural Gas) position at Westinghouse Electric - USA?
Location: Viking, MN
Engagement: 12 Months (contract)
Each morning, you’ll meet with the Chief Inspector or Resident Engineer—your direct lead depending on the assignment—and plan the day’s inspections. You’ll walk the site verifying that electrical, communications, and instrumentation work is installed exactly as designed. Drawings, plans, specifications, and Contract Documents are your compass; you confirm the build matches the blueprint on construction projects tied to natural gas pipelines and industrial facilities.
As equipment powers up, you’ll evaluate data acquisition systems and both pneumatic and electrical control systems. Your expertise in the current edition of the National Electrical Code (ANSI/NFPA 70), as applied under Code of Federal Regulations Title 49 Part 192, guides your decisions in the field. Throughout the day, you’ll document findings in a detailed inspector’s log, prepare clear inspection reports, and raise safety observations immediately to the Chief Inspector and the Safety Inspector.
