ASME-CWB Quality Inspector

Our client is a dynamic company with over 20 years of experience in metal processing and the custom fabrication of oversized components made of steel or other metals, such as silos, tanks, industrial furnaces, condensers, cyclones, as well as other welded structures and more.

The successful candidate will perform inspection and non-destructive testing activities in accordance with contractual requirements and production priorities. This is a highly hands-on position (not an office role): you will be on the shop floor, working directly with welders, coaching the team, and improving and standardizing quality levels. The position requires an excellent ability to clearly communicate expectations, explain standards to welders, and discuss and defend compliance issues with clients when necessary. This is a day-shift position, with opportunities for overtime.

• Verify that the type of material used for fabrication meets code requirements and client specifications
• Review and approve material test certificates provided by suppliers

• Communicate effectively with clients (comfortable discussing issues, explaining applicable standards, and confidently defending the company's technical/quality position)
• Verify that equipment complies with the client's drawings and specifications
• Follow health and safety standards and comply with environmental requirements
• Master or understand welding processes (FCAW, GMAW, GTAW, SAW, SMAW, OAW, TIG alloys, PAW plasma cutting) and spot welding in order to properly support the team

• Strong technical background with approximately 15 years of experience in welding and quality control in the metalworking industry

• Proficiency with Microsoft Office (for report and documentation management), while being firmly focused on the shop floor
• Knowledge of health and safety regulations
