PROFESSIONAL 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.
NDT Inspector — QSA Surgical Pvt. Ltd.
Pakistan | Feb 2024 – Jan 2025
• Performed PT, MT, and VT examinations on welded assemblies, forged fittings, and precision metal components on a daily
production-inspection basis, evaluating discontinuities against ASME Sec V and ASTM acceptance criteria.
• Identified weld discontinuities, surface cracks, and porosity; issued NDT certificates and defect trend reports that guided
grinding/re-welding recommendations, reducing recurring defect patterns.
• Re-inspected repaired weld regions post-excavation, confirming full structural integrity prior to release with a consistent zero post-
release failure record.
QC Inspector — Piping & Storage Tanks — IKAN Engineering Services Pvt. Ltd.
Pakistan | Jan 2023 – Jan 2024
• Delivered QC inspection for high-pressure piping spool fabrication and atmospheric storage tank construction per ASME B31.3
and API 650 across multiple industrial project packages.
• Verified pipe beveling, root gaps, tack welds, line alignment, and interpass temperatures across SMAW, GTAW, and SAW welding
processes on structural and process piping spools.
• Witnessed PWHT operations and reviewed time-temperature charts against WPS/PQR specifications; verified hardness testing
results with no rejected joints.
• Performed Positive Material Identification (PMI) on alloy piping components and supported hydrotest/pneumatic leak testing,
including pressure hold witnessing across multiple test packages.
KEY PROJECT INVOLVEMENT
• Red Sea Global (RSG) Portfolio — material submittals and quality tracking across 5 concurrent projects: chandelier secondary steel
support, mock-up villa NCR/CAP resolution, hotel fit-out metal works, Shura stainless trims, and Marsa Village interior metal
works.
• Shapoorji Pallonji Mideast (SPML) — Beach Villas, Dubai — material inspection (13.87T secondary steel), welding inspection (13
