Dimensional Control Surveyor in Hebburn

In this role, you will be responsible for verifying that all fabricated components meet strict dimensional tolerances, ensuring integrity and compliance with engineering specifications. You will be examining welded components and compiling reports in a hands-on role, at times working within confined spaces while doing your surveying duties.

With the largest fabrication facilities on the East coast of England, we can build units for vessels and also join them together. Within our 24,000 square metre Fabrication Hall, where your projects will be based, we have a high bay construction hall for our new builds, a panel line, profile cutting, and sub-assembly areas. Using in-house capabilities to maintain tight project control, we work closely together with our customers to deliver what they need, as they need it, when they need it.

What will you do?

• You will perform precise dimensional inspections on large steel structures using a variety of tools including total stations, laser trackers, theodolites, and precision measuring instruments.
• Reporting progress on targets, you will identify and report problems on a weekly basis and include corrective actions.
• You will interpret fabrication drawings, 3D models, and specifications to verify correct geometry and tolerances and conduct pre-assembly and post-weld dimensional inspections to ensure alignment and accuracy.
• With inspection reports, non-conformance reports (NCRs), and dimensional control documentation, you will complete and submit data processing and production of deliverables, including the preparation and checking of drawings, models, and reports.
• You will attend both internal production meetings and any client meetings and collaborate closely with welders, platers, engineers, and project managers to resolve discrepancies and support production.
• Supporting quality audits and client inspections, you will ensure compliance with ISO, ASME, AWS, or other relevant industry standards.
• You will make sure that all dimensional surveying equipment is maintained and calibrated.

• Ability to read and interpret complex engineering drawings and fabrication standards.
• Familiarity with QA/QC procedures and document control systems.
