• Carry out visual inspection of completed welds.
• Use or support suitable NDT methods such as PT or MT when required.
• Identify welding defects such as cracks, porosity, lack of fusion, undercut, voids, incorrect weld size, or poor weld profile.
• Ensure welds are properly cleaned, finished, and accepted before moving to the next process.
• Coordinate with welders and production supervisors to correct rejected welds.
• Follow up on weld repair work and re-inspect after correction.
• Support pressure testing or leak testing activities when required.
• Prepare clear daily inspection reports with photos, remarks, and inspection results.
• Report repeated welding quality issues to production and quality management.
• Ensure workshop work follows basic quality, safety, and housekeeping requirements.

Required Qualifications \& Experience:

• 3 to 5 years of experience in welding inspection, fabrication inspection, or workshop quality control.
• Good practical knowledge of welding defects, their causes, and inspection methods.
• Experience in visual weld inspection.
• Practical knowledge or experience in NDT methods, especially PT or MT.
• Experience in metal fabrication workshops, steel fabrication, pipe fabrication, tanks, or similar industrial environments.
• Ability to read basic fabrication drawings and understand weld symbols is an advantage.
• Knowledge of WPS, welding procedures, and welder qualification is an advantage.
• NDT Level II in PT, MT, or VT is a strong advantage.
• CSWIP 3.0 / CSWIP 3.1 / AWS certification is an advantage, but not mandatory for candidates with strong practical experience.
• Basic computer skills for reporting.
• Good communication skills with welders and workshop supervisors.
• Must be willing to work daily inside the workshop.

Candidate Profile:

We are looking for a practical shop-floor person who is active, organized, and detail-oriented. The candidate should be able to identify welding quality issues at the right time, communicate clearly with welders, and follow up until corrective actions are completed.
