mechanical QC

1. **Inspection & Testing** – Perform visual and dimensional inspections of mechanical components (e.g., pipes, valves, pumps, structural parts). – Conduct **Non-Destructive Testing (NDT)** methods like **Ultrasonic Testing (UT), Magnetic Particle Testing (MT), Dye Penetrant Testing (PT), Radiographic Testing (RT)**. – Verify material certifications (e.g., EN (phone number removed).1/3.2) and compliance with **BS, EN, ISO, ASME, or API standards**. 2. **Documentation & Compliance** – Maintain **Inspection and Test Plans (ITPs)** and **Quality Control Plans (QCPs)**. – Ensure compliance with **UKCA/CE marking**, **Pressure Equipment Regulations (PER)**, **PED (Pressure Equipment Directive)**, and other regulatory requirements. – Prepare **Welding Procedure Specifications (WPS)**, **Procedure Qualification Records (PQR)**, and **Welder Qualification Tests (WQT)**. 3. **Welding & Fabrication QC** – Monitor welding processes (e.g., TIG, MIG, Stick, Submerged Arc Welding). – Check weld integrity, alignment, and post-weld heat treatment (PWHT). – Verify **Welding Inspection Records (WIRs)** and **Welding Data Sheets (WDS)**. 4. **Supplier & Vendor Quality Assurance** – Conduct **Factory Acceptance Tests (FAT)** and **Site Acceptance Tests (SAT)**. – Review supplier documentation (Material Test Certificates, Mill Certificates). – Perform **source inspections** at vendor facilities. 5. **Defect Management & Corrective Actions** – Identify non-conformities (NCRs) and raise **Non-Conformance Reports (NCRs)**. – Work with production teams to implement **Corrective and Preventive Actions (CAPA)**. – Ensure rework/rejection of defective parts. 6. **Health, Safety & Environmental (HSE) Compliance** – Follow **COSHH, LOLER, PUWER** regulations in the UK. – Ensure safe handling of hazardous materials and equipment. 7. **Audits & Continuous Improvement** – Conduct internal/external quality audits (ISO 9001, ISO 45001, ISO 14001). – Implement Lean Manufacturing/Six Sigma principles for process improvement. ### **Required Qualifications & Skills** – **Certifications**: – **CSWIP (Certified Welding Inspector) / PCN Level 2 (NDT)** (for welding/NDT roles). – **ISO 9001 Lead Auditor** (for QA roles). – **Degree/HND in Mechanical Engineering** or relevant apprenticeship. – **Experience**: – Knowledge of **CAD (AutoCAD, SolidWorks)** and **CMM (Coordinate Measuring Machines)**. – Familiarity with **Quality Management Systems (QMS)**. – **Soft Skills**: – Attention to detail, problem-solving, report writing, and communication
