Ensure all quality checks are carried out as per project specifications, ITPs (Inspection and Test Plans), and quality plans (e.g., visual inspections, dimensional checks, NDT coordination, hydrotesting/pneumatic testing).

Documentation:

Ensure proper records are maintained for all inspections, tests, and construction activities, including daily progress reports, quality reports, and punch lists.

Non-Conformance Management:

Identify and report non-conformances (NCRs) and ensure timely resolution and corrective actions are implemented.

Compliance:

Verify that all piping work complies with international codes (e.g., ASME B31.1, B31.3), industry standards (e.g., API), and local statutory regulations (e.g., IBR in India for boilers/pressure vessels).

3. Coordination & Communication:

Inter-Disciplinary Coordination:

Liaise effectively with other engineering disciplines (Civil, Structural, Mechanical, Electrical, Instrumentation) to ensure seamless integration of piping systems within the overall project.

Contractor Management:

Serve as the primary technical point of contact for piping contractors, guiding them on technical matters and ensuring adherence to project requirements.

Client Interaction:

Interact with the client's representatives and third-party inspectors for approvals, site visits, and addressing technical queries.

Reporting:

Generate periodic reports on piping progress, challenges, and solutions to the Site Manager/Project Manager.

4. Safety & Environment (HSE):

HSE Compliance:

Ensure strict adherence to the project's Health, Safety, and Environmental policies and procedures throughout all phases of piping construction.

Risk Identification:

Proactively identify potential safety hazards related to piping work and implement mitigation measures.

Toolbox Talks:
