Construction Quality Coating and Insulation Inspector

Purpose

• The Construction Quality Coating & Insulation Inspector is responsible for ensuring that all coating and insulation activities comply with the highest standards of quality, safety, and regulatory requirements.
• You inspect and ensure that all coating and insulation activities are integrated into the overall construction schedule and are completed efficiently and in compliance with specifications.

Responsibilities

• You inspect the application of protective coatings on structures, piping, and equipment, ensuring that surface preparation, coating thickness, adhesion, and curing meet the required project specifications and industry standards (e.g., NACE, SSPC, ISO 8501).
• You inspect the installation of thermal, acoustic, and fireproof insulation materials on piping, vessels, tanks, and equipment, ensuring proper application, fit, and compliance with project specifications.
• You are responsible for surface preparation and material verification that they meet the necessary quality standards, including checking material certifications, batch numbers, and proper storage conditions.
• You conduct visual inspections, thickness measurements, adhesion tests, and other quality control activities to confirm that the coating and insulation work meets specifications and industry standards.
• You identify and report any defects, non-conformances, or issues found during inspections, resolving these issues, ensuring that corrective actions are implemented.
• You maintain accurate records of all inspections, test results, and non-conformance reports (NCRs) and issue inspection reports.
• You provide regular updates on inspection status, including progress, issues, and recommendations for improvements to the Project / Area Construction Quality Manager.
• You contribute and support continuous improvement by staying informed on the latest coating and insulation techniques, materials, and standards

Education

• Diploma in a related field (e.g., Materials Science, Engineering, or Construction).
• Certification in coating inspection (e.g., NACE Level 1/2, SSPC, FROSIO, or equivalent). Certification in insulation inspection (e.g., ICORR or equivalent) is a plus.
• Prior experience working on FPSO construction projects is highly desirable.

Experience

• Proven experience in coating and insulation inspection, with a strong background in the oil & gas, offshore, or marine industries, particularly in FPSO or shipbuilding projects.
• Good written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to document and report inspection findings clearly and effectively.
• Strong problem-solving skills, with the ability to identify welding-related issues and work collaboratively to implement corrective actions.
• Knowledge of health, safety, and environmental regulations related to coating and insulation processes. Ability to enforce safe working practices and ensure a safe work environment.
