The role is primarily responsible to report using advance 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 advance 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 advance NDT data and evaluate indications against the applicable acceptance criteria (ASME, API, Project specs.) and prepare and accurate inspection reports with supporting data/images.
• Engaging contractors and applicable third-party organisations with a professional approach and maintain a good working level relationship
• Review contractors documented quality deliverables in accordance with the requirements and expectations of COMPANY and provide clear, concise output to the applicable quality focal point.
