Structural Welding and Painting Inspector

Roles and responsibility:

1. Visual Inspection: Conduct visual inspections of welds to check for obvious defects such as cracks, porosity, undercut, lack of fusion, or other visible flaws.
2. Non-Destructive Testing (NDT): Perform or coordinate NDT methods, such as ultrasonic testing (UT), radiographic testing (RT), magnetic particle testing (MPT), and dye penetrant testing (DPT), to identify hidden defects.
3. Weld Size and Appearance: Ensure welds meet the required size, geometry, and appearance as per design specifications and welding codes.
4. Check for Proper Weld Procedure: Verify that the correct welding procedure specifications (WPS) are followed and that the welder is qualified according to applicable standards (e.g., AWS, ASME).
5. Inspection of Welding Materials: Ensure that the right welding materials (electrodes, filler rods, etc.) are used according to the project’s requirements and material specifications.
6. Verify Compliance with Codes and Standards: Ensure that welding work complies with industry codes and standards, such as AWS, ASME, ISO, and customer-specific requirements.
7. Monitor Welder Qualifications: Ensure that welders hold valid certifications and are qualified for the specific types of welding they are performing (e.g., SMAW, TIG, MIG).
8. Conduct Weld Defect Analysis: Identify and analyze weld defects, provide reports, and recommend corrective actions or repairs.
9. Document Inspection Results: Maintain detailed records of inspections, including defect reports, welding procedures, and any corrective actions taken.
10. Prepare Reports: Write detailed inspection reports, non-conformance reports (NCRs), and audit findings. Provide feedback on welding performance, quality, and compliance.
11. Communication with Teams: Communicate with welding engineers, production managers, or project managers to resolve welding issues or concerns, ensuring corrective actions are taken when necessary.
12. Maintain Logs: Keep records of welding activities, inspection results, and material certifications for quality assurance purposes.
13. Client Liaison: Act as a point of contact for clients during inspections, providing updates and ensuring that the work meets the client’s quality requirements.
14. Review Welding Procedures: Check welding procedures (WPS) to ensure that they are in line with the design, codes, and standards for the specific project.
