QC Technician – Welding and Dimensional Checks

Job Title: QC Technician – Welding & Dimensional Checks – Power Plant

Job Summary:

We are looking for a motivated and detail-oriented Junior QC Technician to assist in quality control activities focused on welding inspection and dimensional verification within a power plant fabrication or construction setting. This entry-level position is ideal for candidates who have basic technical training in welding inspection or mechanical measurement and are eager to gain field experience under the guidance of senior QA/QC staff.

Key Responsibilities:

Welding Quality Checks:

• Support senior QC personnel in visual inspection of welds for surface defects such as cracks, porosity, and undercuts.

• Record basic weld parameters (e.g., welder ID, joint type, process used) in QC logbooks.

• Assist in verifying welding consumables and base materials against WPS and project specifications.

Dimensional Inspections:

• Use measuring tools (tape, vernier caliper, micrometer) to perform basic dimensional checks on fabricated parts, piping spools, and structural elements.

• Compare as-built measurements with fabrication drawings and report deviations.

• Ensure correct orientation, alignment, and positioning prior to welding.

Documentation & Reporting:

• Help maintain inspection records, checklists, and dimensional control sheets.

• Support in filing welder qualification records and NDT request forms.

• Tag and mark components as per inspection status (accepted/rejected/hold).

Safety & Compliance:

• Adhere to all safety protocols while performing inspection tasks in the shop or field.

• Report unsafe conditions or non-conformities to supervisors.

• Participate in toolbox talks and QC briefings.

Learning & Development:

• Learn inspection standards such as ASME Section IX, AWS D1.1, and ISO welding quality norms.

• Gain familiarity with NDT processes like PT, MT, UT, and RT.

• Observe and support QC engineers during audits and surveillance activities.

Key Focus Areas:

• Supporting welding and dimensional inspection tasks

• Assisting in documentation and tagging of inspected components

• Learning codes, standards, and inspection techniques

• Ensuring safety and compliance in QC processes

Qualifications and Skills:

Education:

• Diploma in Mechanical Engineering, Welding Technology, or equivalent

• Training in welding inspection or quality control (preferred)

Experience:

• 0–2 years of experience in welding inspection or fabrication QA/QC (internship/apprenticeship acceptable)

Skills:

• Basic understanding of welding types and fabrication processes

• Ability to read simple drawings and use measuring tools

• Keen attention to detail and willingness to learn inspection procedures

• Good communication and teamwork skills
