JOB PURPOSE

To interpret the suitability of products and processes against the designated specification requirements at scheduled and ad‑hoc intervals. The role is primarily responsible for reporting using advanced NDT techniques, accurate detection, characterization, and supporting safe and reliable project execution. Responsibilities include advanced NDT technical review, verification of inspection technique suitability, independent assessment of contractor inspection outputs, and support to weld quality decisions during project execution.

QUALIFICATIONS REQUIREMENT

• Bachelor of Engineering – Mechanical / Metallurgy or equivalent
• NDT certificate in ASNT/PCN Level III for methods in UT, RT, PAUT, and TOFD (minimum)
• NDT certificate in ASNT/PCN Level II for methods MT and PT (minimum)
• CSWIP 3.1 certification and NDT Certificate in ECT (preferred)
• Minimum 10 years of working experience as NDE personnel for Oil & Gas projects, preferably in LNG (greenfield, brownfield, shutdowns, and live plant environments)
• Demonstrated minimum 4–6 years of hands‑on experience in advanced NDT (PAUT/TOFD) post certification and NDT data interpretation, procedure review, scan plan assessment, and technical validation of contractor inspection outputs
• Practical experience in interpretation and acceptance evaluation of weld inspection results against ASME SectionV, ASMEB31.3, ASMEVIII, API1104, API5L, project specifications, and approved inspection procedures
• Demonstrated understanding of welding processes, weld joint configurations, weld repair scenarios, heat‑affected zone considerations, common fabrication and service‑induced discontinuities, and the impact of welding variables on NDT technique selection and interpretation
• Demonstrated ability to assess inspection limitations arising from geometry, restricted access, material condition, weld profile, coating, cladding, or in‑service constraints, and recommend technically suitable inspection approaches
• Extensive experience with reviewing/interpretation of PAUT/TOFD, RT film, and witnessing of MT and PT methods
• Experience in tube inspection (ECT, IRIS, ACFM), corrosion mapping and inspection of TKY weld joints
• Understanding of common weld defects and discontinuities, sour service, calibration techniques and scan plan development
• Familiar with ISO9001 quality assurance principles and practices

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

1. Engage with external contractors to perform PAUT/TOFD and advanced NDT techniques, including defect sizing and characterization
2. Review and technically assess contractor‑issued NDT reports, interpretation records, images, and supporting inspection data to confirm adequacy, traceability, and compliance prior to acceptance
3. Review and verify NDT procedures, technique sheets, personnel certifications, calibration records, equipment validity, and qualification records before the commencement of inspection activities
4. Ensure full traceability between weld maps, line/component identification, NDT reports, repair history, final inspection status, and supporting quality records
5. Interpret advanced NDT data, evaluate indications against applicable acceptance criteria (ASME, API, project specs), and prepare accurate inspection reports with supporting data and images
6. Engage contractors and applicable third‑party organizations with a professional approach and maintain good working relationships
7. Review contractors’ documented quality deliverables in accordance with the company’s requirements and provide clear, concise output to the applicable quality focal point
8. Evaluate the suitability of products and processes at key stages against the prescribed specification requirements and ensure proper implementation
9. Maintain NDE traceability of inspected welds and components
10. Continuously monitor the quality of works in progress at the site and at the EPC contractor fabrication workshop against the applicable NDT procedure and company technical specification
11. Verify NDT calibration blocks, reference standards, and equipment validity
12. Ensure the latest revision of project quality documentation is available and that records of product and process conformance are maintained in accordance with the document and record control requirements
13. Prepare a daily report summarizing the salient inspection points and quality concerns, and coordinate directly with the assigned quality focal point regarding any significant issues identified
14. Manage and participate in site quality verification activities (e.g., quality walk‑by and procurement surveillance) and document results using the applicable inspection report template
15. Record and facilitate the follow‑up of product‑related non‑conformance results
16. Prepare and present topics during the annual quality training program and develop discipline‑specific training material when requested by the quality focal point
