    • Squares
    • Tape measures
    • Other standard QC inspection equipment
    • Ability to work independently with minimal supervision.
    • Strong attention to detail with a focus on quality and safety.
  • Preferred Qualifications

  • Current Certified Welding Inspector (CWI) certification.
  • Experience with nondestructive testing methods, including:
    • Ultrasonic Testing (UT)
    • Magnetic Particle Testing (MT)
    • Penetrant Testing (PT)
    • Additional certifications in structural steel fabrication, bolting, coatings, or welding inspection.
