Supplier Quality Engineer – Turbomachinery QA (API 611/612/ISO)

The Junior Supplier Quality Engineer supports the supplier quality assurance process for turbomachinery components—including steam and gas turbines and their auxiliaries—by assisting in inspections, document reviews, and compliance verification based on international standards such as API 611, API 612, and ISO 9001. The role provides a foundation in mechanical quality engineering and supplier coordination for critical rotating equipment.

Key Responsibilities:

1. Supplier QA Support

• Assist in reviewing supplier quality plans (ITPs/QCPs) and inspection documentation for compliance with project and industry standards.

• Support the Senior SQE in conducting source inspections, FATs, and witnessing of key processes (e.g., hydro testing, machining, assembly).

2. Standards Compliance (API/ISO)

• Learn and apply requirements from API 611, API 612, and ISO 9001 in evaluating supplier documentation and processes.

• Assist in tracking non-conformances and coordinating corrective/preventive action reports (CARs/PARs) with suppliers.

3. Documentation & Reporting

• Review and organize manufacturing records (MRB), material test reports (MTRs), welding qualifications, NDT results, and dimensional reports.

• Compile inspection checklists, photo records, and progress reports under the guidance of senior QA personnel.

4. Communication & Coordination

• Coordinate inspection schedules and documentation flow with suppliers, logistics, and internal project teams.

• Escalate issues and delays proactively to senior engineers or project quality leads.

5. Learning & Development

• Participate in supplier audits and training sessions to build knowledge in quality inspection, turbomachinery fabrication, and API/ISO compliance.

• Study engineering drawings, equipment datasheets, and quality manuals relevant to rotating machinery.

Key Focus Areas:

• Quality documentation review and inspection support for gas/steam turbines and components

• Exposure to API 611/612 and ISO 9001 standards in supplier quality processes

• Basic understanding of rotating equipment manufacturing and testing practices

• Coordination of supplier inspections and reporting

Qualifications:

• Education: Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, or a related technical field

• Experience: 0–2 years in quality, inspection, or supplier management roles; internships in mechanical QA or rotating equipment fields preferred

• Skills:

  • Basic knowledge of mechanical drawings and QA documentation

  • Familiarity with ISO and API standards for turbomachinery (611/612 preferred)

  • Strong attention to detail and organizational ability

  • Good communication and reporting skills
