• Maintain accurate QA/QC documentation, inspection reports, test records, turnover packages, and project quality dossiers for client handover.
• Conduct field walkdowns to verify installation quality, mechanical completion, and punch list closure.
• Support commissioning activities by validating pre-functional checklists, redline drawings, and mechanical system readiness.
• Participate in project quality meetings, progress reviews, audits, and continuous improvement initiatives.
• Deliver toolbox talks and provide guidance on welding quality requirements, piping standards, and QA/QC best practices.
• Verify calibration and certification status of inspection instruments, testing equipment, and welding inspection tools.
• Afford assistance with preparation of Operation & Maintenance (O&M) manuals, as-built documentation, turnover packages, and lessons learned during project closeout.
• Effectively communicate project quality status, inspection results, and potential issues to project management and client stakeholders.
• Read and interpret engineering drawings, specifications, codes, standards, procedures, and inspection documentation.
