Any company doing Computed Radiography method??? I got RT level I and very interested with CR method.

demand is there for subsea equipments in o&g.

Last time I worked as a QA/QC Engineer in a pressure vessels fabricator company for 20 months. Right now I plan to take the CSWIP 3.0. Is the exam too difficult? Can somebody advise me..

I am currently an IE in Malaysia, and my job descriptions are as follows:


1. To select an appropriate and correct inspection technique in view of the various grade of materials used in the three plants and wide range of operating pressure and temperature.

2. To carry out effective on line inspection programmes on systems considering various difficulties such as high elevation, insulated condition and very low/high operating temperature.

3. High pressure equipment inspection necessitates for new knowledge and experience.

4. Develop and maintain good relationship with government authorities particularly with DOSH and other parties such as SIRIM, MINT and local or foreign specialist experts.

5. Teamwork to ensure timely completion of turnaround inspection activities to meet start-up schedule Adapt to fast changing priorities and time pressure.

As referring to that, any of you in the same boat as me, or do know about EMOS Radioactive Inspection Technique, or has any information about any local company that can bring it to the plant I'm currently working. Also anyone knows about LiXi?

may i know what of company would hire fresh grad as inspection engineer? i grad as a materials engineer, and i very interested in metallurgies where my FYP is about testing and optimize alloy. Anyone know of any vacancies do share ya.. thanks

Guys, if you already have some years of experience in NDT/Inspection under your belt, and have Engineering degree, which one do you prefer?

a) Working as NDT/Technical Engineer at third party/consulting companies like Velosi, SGS etc etc;

b) Working as QA/QC/Inspection Engineer in companies like Carigali, Optimal, or others who own plants/facilities,a and usually act as the client.

Please state your reasons.

oh.. menarik ni utk berkongsi pengalaman :

i was a pipeline engineer, a material corrosion inspection engineer,a pipeline inspection engineer,a pigging engineer, and now i am a Corrosion & Inspection engineer.

been working in middle east/thailand/borneo/indo/australia


to be an inspection engineer, u should have degree in mechanical/material/ or atleast engineering dgree.

if you have CSWIP/PCN/NACE/API is an added value for you guys. go for certification in order to have more chance in becoming well verse engineer.

there are a lot of inspection technique. NDT/intrusive/clamp-on/... and NDT is very huge!!!! in fact, all the new technologies keep on been introduced day by day..

so my advice, choose company wisely/look at their job of scope/ enhance yourself with certification and READ A LOT!!

READERS ARE LEADERS!!

cheers..

hebat la bro...experience wise..

i have experience in more qa..and certified lead auditor..planning to enhance skills in welding and NDT...shall i take CSWIP 3.1 and ASNT Level ii

please advise

I've been working for SHell E8/F13 compression project in the project team, but not about QA/QC.. doing completion management. Now i plan to venture into Inspection field as i am a Materials engineering grad, i wanted to take CSWIP 3.1.. but i dont know where and wat company should i look for job for inspection engineer. Should i go for welding inspector kind of job instead?

good evening guys, just wish to clarify something here...

May i know what is the difference between IWE and CWE ? Im about to complete my studies in few months time. Wish to know which one is better ?

Hi all.
I'm mechanical eng fresh grad and really interested in welding / metallurgy field. Currently have CSWIP 3.0 and apparently certificate of attendance of 3.1 (I do take the exam, and passed it but couldn't get the cert due to no experience). So can anyone here give an opinion on what is the first thing to do? I heard that ONG is the most promising industry in the field but how to enter the industry?

I have applied tonnes of ONG related comp but receives no respond....

try this company bro..you'll get the chance to be sent for work in Middle East.

For welding inspectors, one of the more lucrative contracts you can get as a welding inspector is to be contracted by the big clients, BP, shell etc as a third party welding inspector working directly under the client to ensure that the WPS and welding work is up to scratch, you may also be required to also do steel inspection on structures depending on the what project you are performing on.

You do know that to be certified as cswip 3.1 you need at least 2 years working exp as a 3.0 visual welding inspector before you are allowed to fully certified as a scwip 3.1 welding inspector? Its more lucrative if you were find work as freelance welding inspector which they pay quite well and go according to a daily rate. I used to do some freelance work as a welding inspector for noble drilling and i made more in a week then a fresh grad makes in a month. Plus my food expenses, accomodation and flights were all covered by them and since i was working overseas, it was all tax free.

An example would be a colleague of mine who is certified cswip 3.1 like me but his primary task is to do steel inspection and to survey the workers and work being done onboard a ship since he has around 10 years exp as a marine ship inspector in his previous job. Once in awhile he does actual welding inspection, but for the most part, he is just there as the client representative who surveys the work being done and to report to the head surveyor on the progress of work done onboard the ship and to do visual inspection on various parts of the ship which have a higher chance of corrosion and to do thickness measurements on it and advise the client on whether repair work are in order.

Thanks. Already applied

Inspection engineer is a rather loose term nowadays since there are alot of fields of inspection that you can specialize without the need for a degree. It depends on how ppl look at things, there are people who equate an inspector as a technician level worker while some ppl regard them as an engineer.

You can be an inspection engineer specializing in welding inspection. I have heard of the term welding engineer but i do not know what are the responsbilities for that position since most of the internationally recognized welding courses are for welding inspectors and not engineers.

yeah i've asked some of the mech inspector at current project but for ppl like us who are fresh, we are advised to take some position in QA/QC to learn more and when u have good networking then venture into freelance inspectors will give u better income. May i know what kind of company that would take fresh grad into their QA/QC dept? I would like to apply for them.

You could try offshore construction firms like emas offshore, mcdermott international or petra energy which has an offshore marine support division or refineries.

There was one guy in the forum who's working as a QA/QC inspector but i dont think he's a freshie. The odd thing is he was offered a posting in dubai with a monthly salary of around rm10k and in malaysia he's making less then half that amount but he still thinks its not worth it.

Its not so common to get a 100% increment from a new job but he said he's looking for better opportunities. I know a ton of people who would snap up that position.

around 5 years ago, it is worth. but now it may not.

This is for a technician level post. I know one guy whose around 40 who works for infineon as a top level manager and he just earns the same amount and he has an mba.

You can make that kind of money right now and you can use dubai as a platform to further your career more so then keeping yourself stuck in malaysia.

Can anyone share their information/experience on susbsea inspection engineer who hold a 3.4u CSWIP? how is the pay,career path and etc. by having an electrical engineering background I've no idea what is the subsea inspection world is all about until I was selected for an interview in a company who will train you until you can become a 3.4u CSWIP holder. thank you
