Quality

Certified Welding Inspector

Qualify the welders, inspect to the WPS, and hold the weld before it is covered or coated. The schedule does not accept a bad weld.

The Work

• Qualify welders and confirm the work is done to the WPS.
• Inspect fit-up and completed welds before close-in, blast, or coating.
• Write the nonconformance when a weld is not acceptable.
• Work inside the QMS, including with the third-party inspector at the hold point.
• Reject work a supervisor would rather keep.

You Have Done This

• You hold a current Certified Welding Inspector credential.
• You have inspected structural or modular fabrication.
• You have rejected welds under schedule pressure.
• You know which welds have to be seen before they disappear under a coating or a panel.
