It is ideal for a technically inclined candidate seeking growth in boiler QA/QC operations.

Key Responsibilities:

• Assist in the inspection of welds, pressure parts, and fabrication work on steam boilers and related systems.

• Support the preparation and maintenance of code documentation, traveler sheets, material certificates, and weld maps.

• Coordinate with production, maintenance, and third-party inspectors to ensure quality objectives are met.

• Perform basic non-destructive examination (NDE) coordination, such as visual inspections and thickness checks.

• Support the review of WPS (Welding Procedure Specifications), PQRs (Procedure Qualification Records), and WPQs (Welder Performance Qualifications).

• Participate in the implementation of quality checklists, hold-point inspections, and mechanical test verification.

• Ensure proper identification and traceability of boiler materials, consumables, and welding activities.

• Help maintain QA/QC records for audits, ASME/NBIC code reviews, and regulatory compliance.

• Monitor contractor or in-house welders for adherence to approved welding practices.

• Promote and follow safety, housekeeping, and permit-to-work procedures during QA/QC activities.

1. Code Compliance Assistance

   • Support compliance with ASME BPVC (Sections I, IV, V, IX) and NBIC standards during fabrication or repairs.

2. Documentation & Recordkeeping

   • Assist in preparing and maintaining accurate quality records, material traceability logs, and inspection reports.

3. Visual & Dimensional Inspection Support

   • Participate in visual inspections of welds and dimensional checks of boiler components.

4. Welding Supervision Support

   • Help verify proper usage of welding consumables, filler materials, and welding process adherence.

5. Learning QA/QC Best Practices

   • Develop familiarity with QA/QC procedures, NDE methods, and boiler regulatory codes.

Qualifications:

• Diploma or Bachelor’s Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Welding Technology, or equivalent.

• 0–2 years of experience in QA/QC or mechanical inspection roles within fabrication, maintenance, or boiler-related industries.

• Basic understanding of boiler construction, welding symbols, and pressure part components.

• Familiarity with ASME BPVC, NBIC, and material standards (ASTM, ASME).

• Working knowledge of inspection tools (micrometers, calipers, gauges) and MS Office for reporting.

Preferred Skills:

• Internship or project work in boiler inspection, welding QA/QC, or thermal power plant maintenance.

• Exposure to WPS, PQR, and NDE documentation.

• Strong attention to detail and willingness to learn codes and compliance procedures.

• Good communication skills and a team-oriented mindset.
