PROFESSIONAL WORK EXPERIENCE

QA/QC Engineer — GST International Riyadh, Saudi Arabia | Jan 2025 – Present
• Supervise and execute daily QA/QC inspection activities for shop fabrication and field erection of structural steel framing
across commercial and industrial project sites in Riyadh.
• Prepare, submit, and log Work Inspection Requests (WIRs) for consultant review; coordinate and attend joint site
inspections for fit-up, pre-weld alignment, and final visual weld sign-offs.
• Conduct strict dimensional verifications, orientation checks, root gap/bevel angle inspections, column stiffener
alignments, and torque wrench bolt tensioning per approved drawings and AWS D1.1.
• Inspect incoming structural steel plates, built-up sections, pipes, and structural fasteners against Mill Test Certificates
(MTC) to guarantee 100% heat batch traceability.
• Witness non-destructive testing (Magnetic Particle and Dye Penetrant Testing) on critical structural joints; verify NDT
technician reports and clear defect-free structural members.
• Perform protective coating inspections including surface profile measurements, ambient climatic monitoring (dew point,
relative humidity), and Dry Film Thickness (DFT) testing using calibrated gauges.
• Identify non-conformances, issue internal inspection notes and NCRs, coordinate root-cause discussions with fabrication
supervisors, and ensure verified corrective actions prior to client handover.
• Maintain accurate inspection logs, checklist archives, material clearance documents, and submittal files using Odoo ERP
for compilation into final client handover dossiers.
