• Support engineering and workshop teams with inspection methods, quality applications, tools, techniques, and systems.
• Perform dimensional checks on rotating equipment parts including compressors, turbines, pumps, machined components, and precision assemblies.
• Conduct shop-floor inspection work and guide the team using engineering drawings, tolerances, and technical specifications.
• Study OEM and client quality plans, inspection and test plans, and identify hold points, witness points, and inspection stages.
• Draft project quality plans and inspection test plans for review and approval by OEMs and clients.
• Confirm that materials, parts, and finished products are inspected and tested against required tolerances and performance standards.
• Set up and carry out mechanical inspection of machined parts and assembled equipment to confirm compliance with specifications, tolerances, and workmanship expectations.
• Operate and program Coordinate Measuring Machines, including Faro Arm systems.
• Use precision instruments such as gauges, micrometers, vernier calipers, dial indicators, thread gauges, and similar tools.
• Carry out thread inspection according to API 5CT, API 5B, API 7-1, and API 7-2 requirements.
• Apply the correct fits and tolerances for machine shop products.
• Perform PT and MT inspections in line with ASNT Level II certification requirements.
• Investigate non-conformances, carry out root cause analysis, and work with line managers on corrective actions.
• Work with procurement to inspect incoming materials, components, and equipment.
• Handle equipment calibration work and coordinate specialist calibration support through external contractors when needed.
• Communicate with clients, contractors, certifying bodies, third-party inspectors, and internal stakeholders on quality matters.
• Ensure the workshop follows company quality policies, procedures, inspection standards, and QHSE requirements.
• Keep inspection records, reports, calibration logs, NCRs, and other quality documents up to date.
• Contribute to ongoing improvements in quality practices, inspection processes, productivity, and workshop efficiency.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree or diploma in Mechanical Engineering, Production Engineering, Quality Engineering, or a closely related technical field.
• At least 5 years of QC or inspection experience in a workshop, machine shop, or rotating equipment repair setting.
• Proven practical experience in dimensional inspection of rotating equipment such as compressors, turbines, pumps, and related precision parts.
• Mandatory hands-on shop-floor inspection experience in engineering services, a machine shop, or a rotating equipment workshop.
• Ability to read, understand, and advise on engineering drawings, tolerances, specifications, and inspection requirements.
• ASNT Level II certification in PT and MT is required.
• Experience with API thread inspection standards, including API 5CT, API 5B, API 7-1, and API 7-2.
• Faro Arm / CMM operation and programming experience is strongly preferred.
• Confident use of micrometers, gauges, vernier calipers, dial gauges, thread gauges, and other precision inspection tools.
• Good knowledge of quality plans, ITPs, inspection procedures, NCR processing, root cause analysis, and corrective actions.
• Experience working with clients, OEMs, contractors, certifying authorities, and third-party inspectors.
• Understanding of calibration control, equipment verification, and inspection documentation practices.
• Strong knowledge of QHSE procedures, workshop quality compliance, and continuous improvement methods.
• Good communication, reporting, coordination, and problem-solving abilities.

Preferred background

• Experience in a rotating equipment repair or refurbishment workshop.
• Exposure to compressors, turbines, pumps, shafts, impellers, casings, mechanical seals, and precision assemblies.
• Involvement in preparing and obtaining approval for OEM or client quality plans.
• Background in machine shop inspection and dimensional verification of mechanical components.
• Work experience in oil & gas, petrochemical, energy, or industrial workshop environments.
