The Mechanical & Rotating QC Inspector is responsible for monitoring, supervising, and controlling all Quality Control activities related to mechanical static and rotating equipment within the AGUP2 Project CPF2 Package. He ensures that all contractual, technical, and quality requirements are properly implemented by the Contractor and Subcontractors during Construction, Pre-commissioning, and Commissioning phases. The position reports directly to the CPF2 Site QC Superintendent and works closely with Construction, Commissioning, QC disciplines, Vendors, and Contractor/Subcontractor teams .

MAIN MISSIONS/RESPONSIBILITIES

Daily Inspection & Reporting

• Monitor and record all rotating equipment activities on a daily basis.
• Conduct routine inspections in construction areas, equipment installation zones, and pre-commissioning areas.
• Perform specific inspections on rotating machinery and associated installation activities.
• Provide daily update and weekly reporting directly to the CPF2 Site QC Superintendent, covering:
• Inspection progress and key findings
• Non-conformities and recurring defects
• Critical issues requiring escalation or arbitration
• Status of corrective actions
• Quality trends and contractor performance indicators
• Contribute actively to daily/weekly QC coordination meetings and ensure the QC Superintendent receives all relevant data for consolidated site reporting.
• Maintain up-to-date records, ITP follow-up, NCR/CAR tracking, and Mechanical Completion documentation enabling full visibility for the QC Superintendent.

Rotating Equipment Installation & Inspection

• Inspect rotating equipment such as: Pumps (centrifugal, reciprocating, screw), Compressors (reciprocating, centrifugal), Turbines, Electric motors, Blowers and fans
• Verify foundations, grout, anchor bolts, leveling, and mounting conditions for rotating equipment.
• Check alignment (cold/hot), coupling installation, run-out, and shaft rotation.
• Verify lubrication systems, mechanical seals, and auxiliary systems.
• Review and validate inspection reports, punch lists, and test results (vibration, performance, run-in).
• Ensure compliance with vendor documentation, project specifications, and industry standards.

Pre-Commissioning & Commissioning

• Witness and verify rotating equipment pre-commissioning activities: Oil flushing, Lubrication system checks, Motor solo-run, Direction of rotation, Alignment verification
• Participate in commissioning tests: Vibration analysis, Performance testing, Functional checks
• Ensure all rotating equipment is ready for handover to Commissioning.

Documentation & Compliance

• Review and comment on Contractors' and Suppliers' ITPs, Method Statements, and procedures.
• Ensure proper implementation of approved drawings, QC plans, surveillance plans, and ITPs.
• Verify vendor documentation, equipment certification files, and material certificates.
• Issue Quality Records, NCRs, and CARs when required.
• Ensure proper traceability of inspections, tests, and mechanical completion documentation.

Welding, NDT & Interfaces (Only where rotating equipment interfaces with piping or structural supports)

• Coordinate with QC Welding, NDT, Piping, and Structural teams for interface inspections.
• Verify NDT results related to rotating equipment supports, baseplates, and connected piping.
• Ensure correct implementation of flange alignment and piping connection tolerances.

Non-Conformities & Corrective Actions

• Identify and report non-conformities or deviations in a timely manner.
• Ensure corrective actions are implemented and verified.
• Immediately escalate critical anomalies to the QC Superintendent.

Coordination & Interface

• Participate in daily/weekly construction and QC coordination meetings.
• Interface with Construction, Commissioning, Engineering, Vendors, and Contractor QC teams.
• Support technical clarifications and design queries with Engineering when required.
• Participate in audits (Construction, HSE, QC) and site visits.
• Ensure confidentiality of all documentation under responsibility.
