Summary
With over 25 years of experience in the construction industry, including more than 10 years as a QA/QC inspector in heavy industrial plants, I have developed expertise in pipe, mechanical, and structural inspections, pressure testing, and supervision in pressure vessel manufacturing. My skills also extend to welding processes in pipe and structural, non-destructive testing, metallurgy, installation inspection, paint coating inspection, pipe insulation and structural steel inspection, pump and equipment alignment, and concrete for fireproofing. I am knowledgeable in the preparation and maintenance of quality control standards, as well as the maintenance of quality assurance manuals and the qualification of welding procedure specifications. Additionally, I have experience in preparing procedure qualification records, conducting subcontractor quality surveillance, previewing customer contacts, and creating welding repair plans for field and shop equipment. I am proficient in the setup and operation of various welding processes, including GTAW, SMAW, FCAW, GMAW Pulsed, and SAW.
