ITP Execution: Implement and monitor the project-specific Inspection and Test Plan (ITP). Ensure all witness, hold, and review points are strictly adhered to before proceeding to subsequent construction stages. Welding & NDT Oversight: Supervise non-destructive testing (NDT) and structural welding operations for maritime structures, ensuring compliance with AWS D1.1 or equivalent codes. Coatings & Corrosion Control: Inspect surface preparation and application of protective marine coatings, measuring dry film thickness (DFT) and verifying environmental conditions adhere to NACE/CBR parameters. Documentation & Reporting: Generate precise daily inspection logs, witness reports, and Quality Control records. Issue Non-Conformance Reports (NCR) upon detecting defects or deviations, tracking them through to verified closure. Audits & Calibration: Assist in internal and external quality audits. Verify that all field testing and measuring equipment are fully calibrated, traceable, and properly maintained. Job Qualifications & Requirements Education: Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Marine Engineering, or a related technical discipline. Experience: Minimum of 5 years of experience in QA/QC inspection, with at least 3 years dedicated explicitly to port expansion, terminal construction, or coastal maritime infrastructure projects. Technical Codes: Strong working knowledge of international maritime and engineering codes, including BS 6349 (Maritime Works), AWS D1.1 (Structural Welding), ASTM, and ACI standards. Certifications: Active certification in welding inspection (AWS-CWI or CSWIP 3.1) and/or marine coatings inspection (AMPP/NACE Level 2 or BGAS-CSWIP) is highly preferred. Environment: Ability to work comfortably in challenging offshore, coastal, and waterfront environments, including working over water, on marine vessels, or in high-humidity settings.
