Job description

*THIS IS NOT A FULL TIME ROLE; IT'S A 1099 CONTRACTOR OPPORTUNITY*

Job Responsibilities:

1. Phase 1
   • Observe the unloading process at the end-client warehouse, which is supposed to be indoors.
   • The end customer will conduct inspections independently, deciding how thoroughly to check (e.g., verify all 66 gaskets or just confirm the presence of the gasket bag).
   • Main task is to ensure all items are complete.
   • Record what has been checked by the end client.
   • Document any missing parts promptly to facilitate communication with our client in Italy.
   • Compare the end-client inspection list with the packing list.
   • The final packing list will be available 15 days prior to arrival.
   • Focus of inspection will be on large steel parts and semi-assembled machinery components.
   • Provide detailed photographic documentation.
   • Establish a finding list to be signed by both parties.
2. Phase 2
   • An expert from Italy will join the final commissioning as an observer, providing assembly advice and monitoring welding.
   • Depending on the duration, the Italian expert may not stay for the entire period; in this case, the observation will continue without them.
   • Required skill set includes mechanical engineering, welding experience, NDT knowledge, and electrical background for wiring and cable routing checks.
   • Phase 2 is most likely to start in Q3/Q4.

Industry Experience:

• At least 3 years of experience in Quality Assurance or mechanical inspections.
• Electrical skills for cable routing are preferable but not mandatory; electrical expertise is necessary.
• Background in mechanical or industrial engineering.
• Experience in welding and NDT (Non-Destructive Testing).

Inspection Products:

• Steel construction, with final structures reaching 10-15 meters in height.
• Semi-assembled parts.
• Accessories for assembly, such as gaskets.

Job Details:

• Type: 1099 contract.
• Project duration varies within a 1099 contract framework.
• Shift hours may vary; maximum of 8 hours on-site during business hours (Monday to Friday).
• Must be able to commute to St. Louis, USA, with potential future travel to other MO areas after project completion.
