- Review subcontractor's tender documents and technical qualifications
- Assist the QHSE Department with subcontractor assessments/audits
- Review and approve subcontractors Welding submissions
- Ensure that Welding traceability info is recorded, maintained, and available in the required format for all Welding activities to demonstrate achievement of client requirements
- Review journals and technical papers for new welding technology. Maintain contact with welding equipment suppliers and consumable vendors to promote advances in welding technology
- Maintain updated departmental project Welding files and database so that information is readily available to other department members
- Liaise with the barge personnel, particularly welding supervisors and operative welding figures, and assist in optimising work methods and troubleshooting where and when required
- Monitor lay barge progress to identify opportunities for improvement
- Contract Technical review to verify Project Technical requirements for Welding Activities
- Propose the Base material Purchase strategy for a fabrication Project
- Prepare and issue Welding Documents (Welding Books, WPSs, WPQR, PTW report, Procedures, etc.)
- Evaluate and estimate type and quantity of welding consumables
- Prepare Purchase Requests for Welding Consumable
- Monitor Consumables consumed along the project, evaluating additional Consumable Purchase, if required
- Monitor the Welding Quality through the analysis of the trends of Project Defect Rates and Welder's defect rates prepared by the QHSE Dept., proposing improvement actions.
