Quality Control (QC) Coordinator

Designation:

Role Objective

To perform and document stage-wise inspections of fabrication jobs as per approved drawings, weld maps, and project-specific quality standards, ensuring parts are accepted or escalated at the right time, supporting smooth project flow and first-time-right execution.

Key Responsibilities

1. Carry out dimensional and visual inspections for assigned fabrication jobs including fit-up, welding, grinding, and painting — in line with approved ITPs and drawings.

2. Verify that jobs are fully ready before inspection — confirm proper welding consumables, part marking, and drawing version before proceeding.

3. Tag accepted, hold, and rejected items appropriately, and update shift-wise inspection logs with traceability.

4. Escalate any deviation, unclear condition, or suspected non-conformance to the QC Lead without delay.

5. Coordinate with Section Coordinators and In-Charges to ensure that jobs are only offered when ready — avoid idle QC time or partial checks.

6. Track and re-inspect reworked items, ensuring proper closure of NCRs with documentation.

7. Maintain calibration and readiness of basic inspection tools (e.g., measuring tape, weld gauge, fillet gauge, DFT meter).

8. Assist during client or third-party inspections by presenting relevant records and highlighting inspected jobs.

9. Report recurring rework trends or frequent job readiness gaps to the QC Lead for process correction.

10. Adhere to traceability and tagging discipline for all inspected parts — support flow, not delay it.

Key Interfaces

Team/Function

Purpose

QC Lead

Receive inspection plans, escalate NCRs, share records

QA Lead

Share document issues, align with SOPs

Section In-Charges & Coordinators

Coordinate job readiness, ensure proper inspection timing

Welding Expert

Clarify acceptance standards, weld-related queries

Client / Third Party QC

Support inspection visits, present reports/documentation

Responsibilities Outside the Scope of This Role

• Does not define inspection criteria or WPS — follows what is approved by QA and Welding Expert.
• Does not decide or release jobs — only inspects based on job readiness.
• Does not supervise production — coordinates with production but does not direct it.
• Does not approve changes or deviations — escalates for formal decisions.
• Does not track inventory or manage rework execution — only verifies outcomes.

Qualifications & Experience

• Diploma or B.Tech in Mechanical / Welding / Fabrication Engineering
• 1–4 years of experience in quality inspection in structural steel fabrication, infrastructure, or EPC projects
• Familiarity with fabrication drawings, weld symbols, visual inspection, and DFT measurement
• Hands-on experience using basic inspection tools (vernier, weld gauges, DFT meter)
• Clear sense of documentation, traceability, and escalation logic

• Preferred:

  New plant start-up environment, Pareto, Fish Bone Diagram, Design and Manufacturing FMEA, SPC, SQC, Gage R&R, 8D Problem Solving, Six Sigma Certification
• Good communication skills for shift coordination and audit support.
