Job Description

Roles & Responsibilities

The Mid-Level Quality Control Technician is responsible for independently performing visual inspections and supporting advanced non-destructive examinations (NDE) of turbine components before shipment.

Key Responsibilities:

1. Visual Inspection and Conformance Review

  • Conduct detailed visual inspections of gas/steam turbine parts including rotors, casings, couplings, blades, and auxiliary components.

  • Verify markings, serial numbers, part tags, and documentation prior to final packing and dispatch.

2. NDE Support and Execution

  • Set up and perform Level I/II non-destructive testing (PT, MT, UT) in accordance with inspection plans and international codes.

  • Document NDE results accurately and escalate any findings to QA/QC engineers or supervisors for review and disposition.

  • Maintain inspection tools and ensure calibration status is current.

3. Export Packaging and Preservation QA

  • Inspect export crates, skids, shrink wraps, VCI application, and moisture protection (desiccants, barrier bags) for compliance with standards (e.g., ASTM D3951, MIL-STD-2073).

  • Validate labeling, stenciling, orientation markings, and handling symbols are applied correctly.

4. Quality Documentation and Reporting

  • Prepare and update inspection reports, NDE logs, non-conformance reports (NCRs), and photo documentation packages.

  • Support creation of final inspection dossiers (including MRBs or shipping QA records).

5. Standards Compliance and Safety

  • Apply relevant quality standards including API 611/612, ISO 9001, ASME, and internal quality specifications.

  • Adhere to all health, safety, and environmental protocols during inspection and handling of heavy turbine parts.

Key Focus Areas:

  • Detailed visual inspection of turbine components for surface integrity

  • Execution and documentation of NDE methods (PT/MT/UT) for final shipment quality

  • Inspection of export crating and preservation for compliance with client and international standards

  • Preparation of inspection records and traceability documentation

  • Application of QA standards (API 611/612, ISO, ASME) in a logistics and dispatch context

Qualifications:

  • Education: Diploma or Bachelor’s in Mechanical Engineering, QA/QC, or related technical discipline

  • Experience: 3–6 years of quality inspection experience, preferably in turbomachinery, rotating equipment, or heavy industrial fabrication

  • Skills:

    • Proficiency in reading mechanical drawings, P&IDs, and QA documentation

    • Familiarity with international inspection and preservation standards

    • Hands-on experience with NDE (certification preferred or in-progress)

    • Strong organizational and reporting skills
