.Join a stable, growing organization where your welding inspection expertise directly safeguards product quality and customer satisfaction. This is a hands-on, shop-floor focused role offering long-term security, clear responsibilities, and the opportunity to be a key technical authority in welding quality.

About the Role:

You will be responsible for performing welding quality control inspections from start to finish, ensuring all welded components meet specifications, codes, and customer requirements. Working closely with production, engineering, and scheduling, you will verify compliance, document results, and support continuous improvement in welding processes. Your work will have a direct impact on product reliability, on-time delivery, and overall quality performance.

Key Responsibilities:

• Perform visual and dimensional inspection of welds on in-process and finished products according to drawings, procedures, and applicable codes.
• Conduct welding tests and inspections using appropriate tools, gauges, and measuring equipment, documenting all findings accurately.
• Review and interpret welding blueprints, weld symbols, and specifications to ensure correct setup and execution of welds.
• Verify that welding processes, materials, and procedures are followed as required, escalating nonconformances and initiating corrective actions.
• Maintain detailed inspection records, quality reports, and traceability documentation in line with quality management system requirements.
• Use computer applications (Excel, Word, and internal systems) to input data, run reports, and track inspection results and quality metrics.
• Coordinate inspection schedules with production and scheduling teams to support efficient workflow and on-time delivery.
• Monitor adherence to safety and regulatory requirements during welding and inspection activities, reporting any unsafe conditions or practices.

Key Requirements:

• Proven experience in welding inspection and testing in a manufacturing or fabrication environment.
• Strong dimensional and visual inspection skills with a keen eye for detail and defect recognition.
• Demonstrated ability to read and interpret welding blueprints, weld symbols, and related technical documentation.
• Hands-on experience using inspection tools and measuring equipment such as calipers, micrometers, gauges, and weld inspection instruments.
• Working knowledge of quality management practices, nonconformance handling, and documentation control.
• Familiarity with safety standards and regulatory compliance related to welding operations.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Excel, Word, and basic computer-based reporting tools.
• Ability to organize workload, manage inspection priorities, and support scheduling requirements in a fast-paced environment.

Desirable Skills:

• Experience working under common welding codes or standards (e.g., AWS, ASME).
• Exposure to continuous improvement or root cause analysis activities in a quality environment.
• Background in a heavy industrial, structural, or pressure-related fabrication setting.

Qualifications:

• Formal training in welding, welding inspection, or related technical field preferred.
• Certification as a welding inspector (e.g., AWS CWI) or progress toward certification is an advantage but not required.
• Additional coursework or certifications in quality control, inspection, or safety are beneficial.
