We are seeking a Mid-Level Welding Engineer to support welding operations, procedure development, and code compliance across projects involving pressure vessels, structural steel, and pipeline systems. The ideal candidate will be well-versed in ASME Section IX, AWS D1.1, and API 1104, with hands-on experience in welding procedure qualification, welder performance testing, and fabrication support in shop and field environments.
Develop, qualify, and support the implementation of Welding Procedure Specifications (WPS) and Procedure Qualification Records (PQR) in accordance with ASME IX, AWS D1.1, and API 1104, while ensuring welding quality, code compliance, and fabrication efficiency.
Prepare and maintain WPS, PQR, and WPQ documentation for various base materials and welding processes (SMAW, GTAW, GMAW, FCAW, SAW).
Provide technical support to production, QA/QC, and project teams on weld joint design, filler material selection, and code interpretation.
Conduct weld trials, procedure qualifications, and welder qualification testing in accordance with applicable codes.
Review customer specifications, drawings, and applicable codes to determine welding requirements.
Monitor and troubleshoot welding operations in the shop and field to ensure quality and productivity.
Liaise with QA/QC inspectors to evaluate weld quality, NDT results, and coordinate non-conformance investigations.
Assist in maintaining weld traceability, material certificates, and welding data book documentation.
Support audits, client inspections, and third-party reviews related to welding and fabrication activities.
Train and mentor welders and junior engineers on welding standards, procedures, and techniques.
Stay updated with advances in welding technology, metallurgy, and industry codes.
Bachelor’s Degree in Welding Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Metallurgical Engineering, or equivalent technical discipline.
4–8 years of relevant experience in welding engineering within fabrication, oil & gas, pipelines, pressure vessels, or structural steel industries.
Strong knowledge and hands-on experience with ASME Section IX, AWS D1.1, and API 1104.
Familiarity with NDT methods (RT, UT, PT, MT) and welding metallurgy.
Welding Procedure Development – Skilled in drafting and qualifying WPSs and PQRs for different materials and processes.
Code Interpretation – Proficient in applying ASME IX, AWS D1.1, and API 1104 standards in practical settings.
Problem Solving – Capable of identifying and resolving welding-related issues in production.
Material and Process Knowledge – Understanding of weldability, preheat/interpass temperature control, and filler material selection.
Communication – Clear and professional communication with fabrication teams, inspectors, and project engineers.
Attention to Detail – Accuracy in documentation, traceability, and compliance with project specifications.
Team Collaboration – Effective at working cross-functionally with quality, design, and production teams.
AWS Certified Welding Inspector (CWI) or CSWIP 3.1 (preferred or in progress)
NDT Level II in PT/MT/UT/RT (a plus)
OSHA or safety training for industrial environments (beneficial)
Office and fabrication shop/field environment
PPE required in shop and site locations
May involve moderate travel for project or site support
