• Evaluate and interpret test results strictly against the acceptance criteria defined in approved NDE procedures, approved drawings, Quality Control Plans (QCP), and ASME/EN codes.
• Perform visual examinations (VT) of welds prior to and during NDE, ensuring compliance with near-vision acuity and colour contrast requirements.

On-Time Reporting & Documentation

• Generate, sign, and submit accurate NDE reports concurrently with physical testing to ensure zero delays in production flow and final Manufacturing Data Record (MDR) compilation.
• Maintain accurate traceability of tested joints, welder IDs, and component heat numbers on all NDE reports.

External Coordination (AI, TPI & Customer)

• Coordinate on the shop floor with Client Representatives, Third-Party Inspection (TPI) agencies, and ASME Authorized Inspectors (AI) to facilitate NDE witness and hold points.
• Present calibration records, NDE procedures, and qualification certificates to external inspectors upon request and assist them during joint reviews or film interpretation sessions.

Equipment Calibration & Control

• Maintain updated calibration logs and immediately quarantine any defective or out-of-calibration instruments.
• Prepare, maintain, and control NDE calibration blocks and reference standards, ensuring proper identification, calibration validity, traceability, storage, and serviceability.
• Maintain NDE probes, cables, scanners, and other accessories required for specific NDE methods, ensuring their availability, compatibility, and working condition.

Defect Identification, NCR & RCA

• Identify unacceptable indications or defects immediately and communicate results to the QC and Production teams.
• Assist in raising Non-Conformance Reports (NCRs) for defective welds or materials.
• Participate in cross-functional Root Cause Analysis (RCA) meetings to help identify the metallurgical or process-related causes of recurring welding defects.

Subcontractor Support & Safety Compliance
