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..
