Senior Quality cum Expediting Engineer (Heavy Engineering Fabrication)

Role & responsibilities

Key Responsibilities

1. Quality Assurance & Stage Inspection

• Material & Document Verification: Verify incoming raw materials (plates, pipes, forgings, structural sections, and welding consumables) against material test certificates (MTCs), ASME/ASTM specifications, and PO requirements.
• Stage-Wise Inspection: Conduct stage inspections including layout marking, edge preparation, fit-up verification, dimensional checks, visual weld inspection, and structural assembly monitoring as per approved General Arrangement (GA) drawings and weld symbols.
• WPS/PQR & Welder Review: Review Welding Procedure Specifications (WPS), Procedure Qualification Records (PQR), and verify Welder Qualification Records (WQR) prior to fabrication execution.
• Witnessing Testing: Witness and evaluate Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) methods (UT, MT, PT, RT), hydrostatic/pneumatic pressure testing, hardness testing, and PWHT cycles.
• Surface Preparation & Coating Inspection: Inspect blast cleaning profile, environmental parameters, dry film thickness (DFT), and surface coating application as per client/project standards.
• NCR Management & Final Release: Issue Non-Conformance Reports (NCRs), track root-cause analyses, verify corrective/preventive action implementation (CAPA), compile final quality dossiers, and issue Inspection Release Notes (IRN).

2. Production Monitoring & Expediting

• Schedule Tracking: Monitor day-to-day shop floor progress against approved Master Manufacturing Schedules (L2/L3 schedules) and PO delivery commitment dates.
• Material & Sub-Tier Flow: Track raw material availability, cutting lists, sub-contractor operations, bought-out items, and heat treatment cycles to identify and resolve supply chain bottlenecks early.
• Bottleneck Resolution & Recovery Plans: Coordinate directly with vendor production, engineering, and procurement teams to flag delays and establish schedule recovery plans.
• Reporting & Communication: Generate daily and weekly site status reports incorporating photographic documentation, milestone completion percentages, risk matrices, and physical progress metrics for Inspax project managers and client stakeholders.
