About The Position

The Project Quality Inspector B performs and documents quality inspections of Oil & Gas process equipment, including structural and piping welding non-destructive examination (NDE), industrial coatings characterization, incoming material inspection, electrical and instrumentation walkdowns, pressure testing coordination, and machining dimensional inspections. The role supports production schedules and project quality requirements, including inspection of gas turbine structural skids, piping spool segments, and materials for piping and structural assemblies. The inspector reports to the Quality Production Supervisor and communicates with customers and third-party inspectors during in-process inspections. The role works with multiple Solar departments and NDE suppliers, and performs inspections in indoor and outdoor fabrication areas and shop-floor environments. The position requires the ability to support simultaneous project tasks and production schedules, and to work second shift and overtime as needed. The role includes collecting and validating material test reports; conducting visual weld inspections; coordinating and documenting welding NDE; leading customer and third-party fabrication inspection points; auditing industrial coating application and characterization; and preparing piping pressure-testing packages, verifying configurations and equipment calibration, and providing test records for customer approval. The inspector may also assist with training less experienced Welding Inspectors.
