Our client monitors and verifies the works performed by the contractor (vessel fabrication and erection, piping, civil works, coatings) as part of its owner's engineer role. Main Responsibilities • Inspect and verify the contractor's work: LPG vessel fabrication and field erection, piping, structural / civil works, coatings; • Verify compliance with the contracted codes (ASME VIII Div. 1/2, ASME B31.4, ASME IX, EEMUA 190) and the project ITPs; • Review and verify WPS / PQR / WPQ, material certificates (EN 10204 3.1 / 3.2) and ITPs against the specification; • Follow hold points and third-party inspection interventions; • Act within the owner's-engineer monitoring and verification role. Essential Qualifications • Formal welding inspection qualification, current and unexpired: CSWIP 3.1 or AWS CWI (or equivalent); • NDT qualification to ASNT SNT-TC-1A or ISO 9712 Level II, specifically including RT (radiography) interpretation — essential given the contract's 100% RT requirement; PT / MT alone is not sufficient; • Working knowledge of ASME Section V (NDE), Section VIII (pressure vessels) and Section IX (welding qualification); • Coating inspection qualification: NACE / AMPP CIP or FROSIO — the vessels are earth-covered and the coating is the primary long-term corrosion barrier. Desirable Assets • Prior QC experience specifically on ASME VIII pressure vessels (not only piping or structural steel); LPG / hydrocarbon storage tank experience is a strong plus; • Experience with field-erected vessels: site welding, site NDT, site hydrotest; • Pipeline QC experience relevant to ASME B31.4 (liquid pipelines); • Familiarity with buried / mounded vessel coating systems (cathodic disbondment resistance, holiday / spark detection); • Bilingual French / English; • Experience on a SEVESO / major-hazard site, with a sound understanding of hold points and third-party inspection regimes.
