Qualifications/ Experience Required
● Bachelor's degree in Engineering (Mechanical, Materials, Metallurgical or NDT Engineering) or equivalent technical qualification.
● Minimum 8 years' experience in NDT QA/QC or related disciplines, including at least 3 years in a technical specialist or senior NDT inspector role in the oil & gas industry.
● ISO 9712 NDT Level II (or equivalent ASNT Level II) in at least two techniques among RT, UT, MT, PT — RT and UT preferred.
● Hands-on experience with advanced NDT methods (PAUT, TOFD, AUT) is highly valued.
● Demonstrated experience on major oil & gas or LNG projects of comparable scale and complexity.
● Certified Welding Inspector qualification (CSWIP 3.1 / AWS CWI / IWT / IWI-S) is an asset.
● Radiation Safety / Radiation Protection training appropriate to the role.
● Strong HSE culture and safety leadership.
