- Oversee NDT coordination (VT, PT/MT, RT/UT as applicable); review reports and close out findings
- Ensure builds conform to specifications, P&IDs, isometrics, and applicable codes (e.g., ISO 9001 QMS, PED/UKCA where applicable, ASME/EN pipework standards, electrical standards).
- Lead the NCR Management System (5 Whys, Ishikawa) with measurable effectiveness checks in place
- Ensure that all SPC defects /first-pass yield/defect Pareto to target chronic issues (e.g., gasket seating, torque scatter, cable terminations).
- Feed manufacturability improvements back to Design (Poka-Yoke, standardization of valves/instrumentation, clearer isos/BOMs)
- Coach welders/fitters/assembly techs on inspection criteria, pressure-test safety, cleanliness standards, and E&I test methods.
- Participate in daily stand-ups and readiness reviews; provide clear quality status and risk visibility to PMs and Production.
