Mechanical Inspector – Subsea Umbilical Equipment Manufacturing)

The role is focused on inspecting subsea umbilical termination assemblies , ensuring compliance with welding, machining , and overall mechanical quality standards throughout the manufacturing process.

Key Responsibilities :

Inspection & Testing :

• Perform mechanical inspections on umbilical termination assemblies including machined parts, welded joints, and structural fittings.
• Validate dimensional accuracy using precision tools such as micrometres, callipers, and gauges.
• Assess the quality of assembly processes including crimping, soldering, and cable routing as part of the mechanical scope.
• Conduct visual checks and assist in evaluating test results (e.g., pressure tests, fit-up tests).

Compliance & Documentation :

• Ensure alignment with applicable codes and standards such as ASME, API, and client specifications.
• Record inspection data and maintain traceable documentation throughout the production cycle.
• Raise and track non-conformance reports (NCRs); assist in implementing corrective measures.

Coordination & Support :

• Interface with production, QA / QC, and engineering teams to resolve mechanical quality issues.
• Provide feedback for process improvements and participate in audits as needed.
• Support safe manufacturing practices and ensure adherence to project-specific requirements.

Qualifications :

• Diploma or Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical engineering or equivalent.
• Minimum 8 years of experience in mechanical inspection within oil & gas, subsea, or industrial manufacturing sectors.
• Knowledge of welding processes , machining techniques , and associated inspection methods.
• Certification in welding / mechanical inspection (e.g., CSWIP, AWS-CWI) preferred.
• Experience with umbilical systems or subsea components is an added advantage.

Skills :

• Strong understanding of mechanical drawings and GD&T.
• Proficiency in using inspection tools and reporting software.
• Solid grasp of manufacturing and quality control principles.
• Effective communication and teamwork skills.
• Physically capable of performing inspections in various working conditions.

Work Conditions :

• Based on a manufacturing shop floor and outdoor yard environment.
• Involves physical activities such as climbing, lifting, and inspecting in confined spaces.

Though this position may involve interaction with electrical assemblies, the role is strictly mechanical , emphasizing welding, machining , and mechanical fit-up inspection as core competencies
