Welding Engineer (DClad)

Job Purpose

The Welding Engineer acts as the primary technical authority for all welding activities, responsible for developing and validating welding procedures (WPS/PQR) to ensure total compliance with international codes and client specifications. This role integrates technical precision with production efficiency to deliver high-quality, defect-free fabrication while driving continuous improvement in welding technologies.

Key Responsibility

• Act as the technical authority for all welding and cladding processes, including GTAW, Hot Wire GTAW, CRA, SDSS, DSS, Inconel, and other high-alloy materials.
• Develop, review, qualify, and approve WPS, PQR, and WPQT in accordance with ASME, API, AWS, ISO, and customer specifications.
• Select and approve base metals, cladding alloys, welding consumables, gases, and equipment, ensuring proper metallurgical compatibility and dilution control.
• Lead and oversee all welding and cladding activities across projects, ensuring compliance with quality, safety, and project requirements.
• Provide technical support during tendering, project planning, execution, feasibility studies, and risk assessments.
• Optimize welding productivity, consumable utilization, and equipment performance to achieve cost and schedule objectives.
• Support ERP-based planning, routing, and production reporting related to welding operations.
• Ensure compliance with project specifications, ITPs, QCPs, applicable codes, and industry standards.
• Lead troubleshooting, root cause analysis, and implementation of corrective and preventive actions for welding-related issues.
• Drive continuous improvement initiatives to enhance weld quality, deposition efficiency, and operational performance.
• Support the implementation of advanced welding technologies and process improvements.
• Mentor and provide technical guidance to welding and cladding supervisors, team leaders, technicians, and operators.
• Coordinate with QA/QC, Production, Maintenance, Planning, and HSE teams to ensure efficient project execution.
• Support customer inspections, audits, and third-party surveillance activities.

  Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Welding Engineering, Metallurgical Engineering, or a related discipline (Master's degree is an advantage).
• CSWIP 3.1/3.2 certification or equivalent is an added advantage.
• Certified Welding Engineer (IWE/CWE) is preferred.
• 8–12 years of experience in welding engineering within the Oil & Gas, offshore, onshore, heavy fabrication, or cladding industry.
• Strong knowledge of ASME Section IX, API 6A, AWS, ISO, and related international standards.
• Proven expertise in CRA/SDSS cladding, weld overlay, and automated GTAW Hot Wire welding processes.
• Experience with welding automation systems, metallurgical analysis, and quality assurance is highly desirable.
