CWI certification is preferred and will push compensation toward the top of the range. Role requires hands-on inspection across multiple trades, not desk work.

Qualifications

• Hands-on field inspection experience in a shipyard, heavy fabrication, or industrial construction environment. This is not a desk job.
• CWI certification preferred and compensated accordingly at the top of the range.
• Willingness and ability to cover multiple trades and support various NDT methods, not just a single discipline.
• Familiarity with USCG regulations and ABS classification rules, or the demonstrated ability to gain that knowledge quickly.
• Strong documentation discipline, attention to detail, and the ability to hold the line on quality standards under production pressure.
• Bilingual Spanish is a meaningful advantage given the workforce composition at this shipyard.

• Review work packages before work begins for completeness, accuracy, and compliance with contract specifications and regulatory requirements.

• Execute inspections per the QA/QC plan and documented inspection procedures and record all findings accurately.
• Coordinate with USCG inspectors and ABS surveyors to ensure vessels are built and repaired to contract and classification standards.
• Support non-destructive testing activities across multiple NDT methods as needed.
• Maintain calibration and certification records for all test equipment, welder qualification certs, and the quality reference library.
