Senior QA/QC Inspector - Advance NDT M/F

Senior QA/QC Inspector – Advance NDT M/F

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 to report using advanced NDT techniques, accurate defect detection, characterization, and supporting a safe and reliable project execution.

Key Job Accountabilities

• Engage with external contractors to perform PAUT/TOFD and advanced NDT techniques and perform defect sizing, characterisation.
• Review and technically assess contractor-issued NDT reports, interpretation records, images, and supporting inspection data to confirm adequacy, traceability, and compliance prior to acceptance.
• Review and verify NDT procedures, technique sheets, personnel certifications, calibration records, equipment validity, and qualification records prior to commencement of inspection activities.
• Ensure full traceability between weld maps, line/component identification, NDT reports, repair history, final inspection status, and supporting quality records.
• Interpret advanced NDT data and evaluate indications against the applicable acceptance criteria (ASME, API, Project specs.) and prepare accurate inspection reports with supporting data/images.
• Engage contractors and applicable third‑party organisations with a professional approach and maintain a good working relationship.
• Review contractors' documented quality deliverables in accordance with the requirements and expectations of the company and provide clear, concise output to the applicable quality focal point.
• Evaluate the suitability of products and processes at key stages against the prescribed specification requirements and ensure effective implementation.
• Ensure NDE traceability of inspected welds and components.
• Continuously monitor the quality of works in progress at site and at the EPC contractor fabrication workshop against the applicable NDT procedure and company technical specification.
• Verify NDT calibration blocks, reference standards, and equipment validity.
• Ensure that 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.
• Prepare a daily report summarising the salient inspection points and quality concerns and coordinate directly with the assigned quality focal point regarding any significant issues identified.
• Manage and participate in site quality verification activities (e.g. quality walk‑about and procurement surveillance) and document results using the applicable inspection report template.
• Record and facilitate the follow‑up of product‑related non‑conformance results.

Qualifications

• Bachelor of Engineering – Mechanical / Metallurgy or equivalent.
• NDT certificate in ASNT/PCN Level III for methods in UT, RT, PAUT and TOFD, as minimum.
• NDT certificate in ASNT/PCN Level II for methods MT and PT, as 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 Section V, ASME B31.3, ASME VIII, API 1104, API 5L, 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 ISO 9001 quality assurance principles and practices.
• Strong technical background in advanced NDT, welding, fabrication, and code‑based acceptance evaluation, with proven QA/QC inspection and coordination experience.
• Fluent in both spoken and written English.
• Strong qualitative and quantitative analytical skills.
• Advanced computer literacy.
