Nuclear Mechanical Quality Control Inspector

Shape the future of clean energy—one flawless component at a time

Join Westinghouse in Waterford, CT as a Mechanical Quality Control Inspector and spend your days safeguarding the integrity of parts, piping, welds, and heavy machinery that power nuclear operations.

A day in the life

You arrive on-site and review the day’s work packages. First stop: a visual and non-destructive examination (NDT) of critical welds. Using precision tools—calipers, micrometers—and Level II/III NDE methods, you confirm every feature aligns with design blueprints and technical specs. Before any equipment is installed, you validate material test reports (MTRs), verify calibration logs, and sign off on inspection packages. If something isn’t right, you document the nonconformance, halt the defective work, and drive corrective actions to closure. Throughout, you collaborate with the Site Manager to prioritize inspections and keep schedules on track.
