Quality Control (QC) Inspector – Mechanical / Piping Required in Oman

The Quality Control (QC) Inspector – Mechanical / Piping is responsible for ensuring that all piping and mechanical components in construction or manufacturing projects meet the required quality standards and specifications. This role involves performing detailed inspections, verifying material quality, and ensuring adherence to industry standards and regulatory requirements. The QC Inspector works closely with project engineers, construction teams, and contractors to identify and rectify issues, contributing to the overall safety and quality of the project.

Key Responsibilities

1. Inspection of Mechanical and Piping Systems
   The QC Inspector performs inspections of mechanical and piping systems at various stages of construction and assembly. This includes assessing welds, pipe connections, fittings, and mechanical components to verify they meet design specifications and industry standards. These inspections help maintain high standards of quality and reliability in the project.
2. Material Verification and Testing
   The QC Inspector is responsible for checking materials used in piping and mechanical systems to ensure they meet the specified standards. This includes verifying pipe grades, materials, and compliance with industry codes such as ASME, API, or other applicable standards. By confirming material quality, the QC Inspector helps prevent premature system failures and safety issues.
3. Weld Inspection and Non-Destructive Testing (NDT)
   A core responsibility of the QC Inspector is to inspect welds and perform non-destructive testing (NDT), such as radiographic, ultrasonic, magnetic particle, or dye penetrant testing. This process ensures the integrity of welds and joints in the piping system. Through careful weld inspection and NDT, the inspector verifies the quality of construction and reduces the risk of leaks and structural failures.
4. Ensuring Compliance with Industry Standards and Regulations
   The QC Inspector ensures that all piping and mechanical systems comply with relevant standards and regulations, including those set by ASME, API, and other regulatory bodies. By strictly adhering to these standards, the inspector helps maintain safety, quality, and compliance on all levels of the project, from fabrication to final installation.
5. Documentation and Reporting
   Maintaining accurate and detailed records of inspections, tests, and quality checks is a critical function of the QC Inspector. This includes preparing inspection reports, documenting non-compliance issues, and tracking corrective actions. Comprehensive documentation allows for transparency and accountability and supports compliance audits.
6. Coordination with Project Teams and Contractors
   The QC Inspector collaborates with construction teams, engineers, and contractors to address any quality concerns that arise. By coordinating closely with these stakeholders, the inspector ensures that issues are resolved in a timely manner and that quality standards are consistently met throughout the project lifecycle.
7. Identifying and Addressing Quality Issues
   If any quality issues are identified during inspections, the QC Inspector works proactively to address them by recommending corrective actions and working with the team to implement solutions. This process involves identifying potential defects, investigating root causes, and providing guidance to rectify issues, thus improving overall project quality.

Qualifications and Skills

• Diploma or Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Welding Technology, or a related field
• Certification in Quality Control/Assurance (e.g., ASNT Level II in NDT, AWS Certified Welding Inspector) is preferred
• 3-5 years of experience in quality control, specifically in mechanical and piping inspection
• Strong knowledge of industry codes and standards (e.g., ASME, API)
• Experience with NDT methods and quality testing tools
• Excellent attention to detail and problem-solving abilities
• Effective communication skills for collaboration with teams and stakeholders
• Proficiency in MS Office and familiarity with QC reporting software
