Welding Inspector

Senior Shop CWI / Quality CWI – Pennsylvania

📍 Pennsylvania | Shop-Based

Too often, experienced CWIs are brought in to check welds, complete paperwork and move on.

This opportunity offers more.

A growing structural steel and bridge fabrication operation is looking for a Senior Shop CWI / Quality CWI to bring strong technical knowledge into the heart of its fabrication shop.

You’ll work closely with production to solve quality issues, improve processes and maintain the standards behind complex structural and bridge fabrication.

🔧 What you’ll be doing

• Inspecting structural steel & bridge fabrication

• Reviewing welding procedures & welder qualifications

• Managing NCRs, traceability & inspection records

• Supporting audits and quality systems

• Working directly with production to resolve quality issues

• Improving fabrication quality and processes

• Supporting and coaching junior quality personnel

• Ensuring work meets applicable AWS, AISC and project requirements

👀 What they’re looking for

Must have:

• AWS CWI certification

• Structural steel and/or bridge fabrication experience

• Strong knowledge of AWS D1.1

• AISC quality experience

Strongly preferred:

• AWS D1.5 / bridge experience

• NDT Level II capability

• Experience taking ownership of quality within a fabrication shop

And importantly, you don’t need to already have “Senior” in your title.

If you’re a technically strong CWI who is ready to take on greater responsibility, this could be a great next step.

Permanent. Full-time. Shop-based.

This is an opportunity to move beyond simply performing inspections and become a key technical voice within the fabrication operation.
