• Confirm that Weld Procedure Specifications (WPS) and Welder Performance Qualifications (WPQ) are valid and approved.
• Inspect joint preparation, bevel angles, alignment, root gaps, and cleanliness prior to welding.

2. In-Process Welding Inspection

• Monitor welding parameters (current, voltage, travel speed, heat input, shielding gas flow rate) against the approved WPS.
• Inspect pre-heat, interpass temperature, and post-weld heat treatment (PWHT) compliance.
• Check interpass cleaning, bead profile, and ensure freedom from visually detectable defects during multi-pass welding.

3. Post-Welding Inspection

• Conduct 100% visual inspection of completed welds to ensure compliance with acceptance criteria.
• Coordinate and review Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) operations (RT, UT, MT, PT) carried out by qualified technicians.
• Verify dimensional accuracy and structural tolerances of fabricated components.

4. Quality Control & Documentation

• Generate daily inspection reports, punch lists, and non-conformance reports (NCRs).
• Maintain and organize the Manufacturing Data Report (MDR) / Final Documentation Dossier.
• Witness destructive testing or welder qualification tests when required.
