Role Overview

The Mechanical QA/QC Engineer is a critical stakeholder in our project delivery team, tasked with the systematic monitoring and evaluation of mechanical installations. You will ensure that every phase of construction—from material procurement to final mechanical completion—strictly adheres to international codes, project specifications, and safety standards.

Candidate Profile & Requirements

• Academic Qualification: Must possess a Bachelor of Engineering (B.E.) in Mechanical Engineering from a recognized and accredited university.

• Professional Experience: Minimum of 3 to 5 years of proven experience in a QA/QC role specifically within the Oil & Gas industry (Upstream, Midstream, or Downstream).

• Industry Knowledge: Solid understanding of oilfield mechanical installations, including high-pressure piping, refinery equipment, and storage tank farms.

• Certifications (Preferred): CSWIP 3.1 or AWS CWI (Welding), and ASNT Level II in NDT methods (RT, UT, PT, MT) are highly advantageous.

Key Areas of Accountability

1. Quality Management & Compliance

• System Implementation: Execute the Project Quality Plan (PQP) and ensure all site activities align with ISO 9001 and project-specific mandates.

• Technical Review: Analyze IFC (Issued for Construction) drawings, Method Statements, and Vendor Data Books to identify potential quality bottlenecks before execution.

• Procedural Oversight: Develop and manage Inspection and Test Plans (ITPs) tailored to specific mechanical disciplines (Static, Rotating, Piping).

2. Field Inspection & Technical Control

• Mechanical Installations: Lead inspections for equipment setting, structural support alignment, and precision leveling.

• Piping & Pressure Systems: Supervise piping spool fit-ups, internal cleanliness inspections, and the full lifecycle of Hydrostatic and Pneumatic testing.

• Torque & Assembly: Validate bolt torqueing sequences and gasket compatibility against engineering data sheets.

• Metrology: Oversee the calibration registry for all Testing and Measuring Equipment (TME) to ensure field data accuracy.

3. Welding, NDT & Metallurgy

• Welding Governance: Verify that all field welds are performed using approved WPS/PQR by certified welders.

• Non-Destructive Testing (NDT): Coordinate and witness RT, UT, MT, and PT activities, ensuring that NDT coverage meets the percentage requirements defined in the project specs.

• Traceability: Maintain comprehensive heat-number traceability and welding logs for all pressure-retaining components.

4. Material Governance & Preservation

• Receiving Inspections: Conduct rigorous Material Receiving Inspections (MRR) to verify mill test certificates (MTCs), physical integrity, and compliance with ASTM/ASME standards.

• Asset Preservation: Audit the storage conditions of sensitive mechanical equipment (e.g., nitrogen purging for vessels, shaft rotation for pumps) to prevent degradation prior to commissioning.

5. Deficiency Management & Closure

• NCR Management: Identify deviations and issue Non-Conformance Reports (NCRs). Work alongside construction teams to determine root causes and implement corrective/preventive actions.

• Punch-List Management: Systematically track “Category A & B” punch items, ensuring all defects are rectified before final mechanical handover.
