• Ensured welding processes adhere to industry standards, safety regulations, and project specifications.
• Experience in inspections, report writing, and collaberating with engineering and quality controls teams.
• Conducted visual and non-destructive testing of welds and weldments to identify defects and ensure compliance with codes and standards.
• Prepared detailed inspection reports, including identifying defects, recommending repairs, and documenting test results.
• Proficiently interpret engineering drawings, specifications, and applicable codes to ensure project compliance.
• Identified and resolved welding-related issues, recommending corrective actions and process improvements to enhance project quality.

· Documented and reported inspection results.

· Conducted visual inspections on in process welds.

· Tested and qualified welders on the job.

· Evaluated welding processes in the WPS.

· Carried out the new project specifications.

· Maintained safety and quality control.

· Performed structural steel inspections.

· Chased down lines; entered data and helped put the books together.

· Welded on pressure vessels under code !00% x-ray

· Used PT NDE to inspect the surface of welds and base metals.

· Welded different alloys such as stainless steel and carbon and chrome.

· Used two welding processes on this job , GTAW and SMAW.

· Used blueprints and rework code to replace some pipe and tied into existing pipe.

Wrote welding policies and specifications for jobs.

Tested welders for understanding of code and proficiency in different environments. Reviewed specifications in order to assess contractor compliance with design.

Examined products for imperfections and defects.

Recommended architectural improvements, design solutions, and integration solutions. Followed standard operating procedures for inspections and tests.

Operated and maintained testing equipment. Updated quality control records and reports.

Monitored product quality at all stages of production process.

• Inspected welds and checked critical measurements to meet specifications. Fabricated shop parts directly from blueprints.
• Interpreted verbal and written instructions from work orders and welding blueprints. Used MIG gun arc to melt and deposit metal from electrode to workpieces.

• Followed strict safety protocols and procedures.
• Inspected visually my welds for discontinuities or imperfections such as porosity, undercut excessive melt-through, etc. Took measurements for the building and repairing of metal parts such as T-joints, Butt-joints, and Lap-joints.
• Welding processes used for this work were GMAW (mig), SMAW (stick), and GTAW (tig).
