Roles & Responsibilities

Daily Inspection & Reporting

  • Monitor and record all welding activities on a daily basis.
  • Conduct routine inspections in fabrication areas, pipe racks, vessel installation zones, and field welding locations.
  • Verify that welding activities follow approved procedures and are performed by qualified welders.
  • Verify the contractor s daily welding reports and associated databases
  • Review weekly trends of weld acceptance / rejection.
  • 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.
