Profile
A driven, personable, and detail oriented Certified Welding Inspector with eight years’ experience. Works well within a team or as an independent
agent. Communicates confidently and effectively with both co-workers and clients. Carefully vigilant for safe practices and anticipation of
hazards. Always open to the ideas and experience of others while seeking the best interpretation of a code or standard, and the best way forward
in response to a challenge or opportunity. Works diligently to exceed the expectations of the client and help them to achieve their set goal.
Willing to work whenever, wherever, and whatever hours in order to make this happen. Seeking to expand my knowledge and skills in all areas of
inspection and non-destructive examination.

extraction or testing
• Performing side-by-side reviews of latest revisions of test method specifications and weld codes, as they are released, to the current
internal Standard Operating Procedures of my employer and advising on updates to said documents
• Communicating the peculiar and particular requirements for each test plan to all involved, from orientation and location of test specimen
lay-out in Sectioning (saw and plasma cutting area), to the CNC mill and lathe operators preparing the test specimens, to the testing
technicians or analysts in Metals Chemistry, Mechanical Testing, Metallurgy, Non-Metallics, or the Engineering/Failure Analysis group, and
finally to the department heads reviewing the results of this testing and those signing the reports and those responsible for invoicing the
client once all of this is reported (if there was any work that had to be sub-contracted to an outside vendor, then they would also be included
in this group)
• Wording conformance and non-conformance statements on reports
• Fielding any and all questions from internal or external clients regarding welding or weld testing or weld codes or documentation of
qualification
• Performing any duties/testing/examination requiring an AWS CWI certification
• Performing visual examinations and surface defect detection using the appropriate method of NDE (Non-Destructive Examination)
• Testing for ferrite number or ferrite percentage using a Fisher feritscope
• Performing the testing duties of my former position whenever that department happened to be under-staffed or overwhelmed
