Job description

The Assistant Manager - Quality role ensures that structural steel elements, welded assemblies, and fabricated components meet customer specifications, engineering drawings, and applicable international codes. The position independently manages stage-wise shop floor inspections, non-destructive testing, dimensional verification, quality documentation, and corrective actions.

Responsibilities

Welding Inspection & Non-Destructive Testing

• Conduct visual inspections of welded components before, during, and after welding to identify defects such as porosity, undercut, and slag inclusion

• Perform or witness non-destructive testing, including dye penetrant testing and magnetic particle testing, and coordinate third-party radiographic or ultrasonic testing

• Verify welding parameters against approved Welding Procedure Specifications and ensure that welders hold the required qualifications

Dimensional & Fit-Up Inspection

• Read and interpret complex heavy-fabrication blueprints, structural drawings, and Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing symbols

• Inspect fit-up alignment and final dimensions using precision measuring instruments, including Vernier callipers, micrometers, height gauges, and coating thickness gauges

Documentation & Customer Audits

• Maintain comprehensive quality assurance and quality control documentation, including Material Test Certificates, Dimensional Inspection Reports, and Final Release Certificates

• Prepare the required documentation and present fabricated structures for customer or third-party inspection

Corrective Action & Continuous Improvement

• Identify rework and rejection trends on the shop floor and lead root cause analysis using methods such as 5 Whys and fishbone diagrams

• Implement corrective and preventive actions to reduce welding rework and improve first-time-right yield

Requirements

• Bachelor of Engineering, Bachelor of Technology, or diploma in Mechanical Engineering, Production Engineering, or a related discipline

• 3–4 years of quality assurance and quality control experience within heavy fabrication, pre-engineered buildings, structural steel, or heavy equipment manufacturing

• Thorough knowledge of welding codes such as AWS D1.1, ASME Section IX, or relevant Indian Standards

• Practical understanding of ISO 9001:2015 Quality Management Systems

• Ability to interpret heavy-fabrication drawings, structural drawings, and Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing symbols

• Practical knowledge of welding inspection, dimensional inspection, non-destructive testing, root cause analysis, and corrective and preventive action processes

• Preferred qualifications:

• ASNT Level II certification in non-destructive testing methods such as penetrant testing, magnetic particle testing, ultrasonic testing, or radiographic testing

• AWS Certified Welding Inspector or CSWIP 3.1 Welding Inspector certification
