NAEEM ULLAH KHAN
@naeemullahkhan
CSWIP 3.1 certified QC Welding Inspector with 13 years in QA/QC.
What I'm looking for
I’m a CSWIP 3.1 certified Welding Inspector with overall 13 years of experience in QA/QC, inspection, and integrity management across fabrication, installation, and maintenance. I’m focused on ensuring compliance with international codes and standards to keep projects technically sound and audit-ready.
I’ve built strong results by minimizing rework and downtime through rigorous visual inspection, documentation review, and clear communication with project management and welding crews. I monitor welding parameters (amperage, voltage, travel speed, interpass temperature) to ensure alignment with approved WPS, and I manage weld log traceability with welder identification and material records.
On site, I coordinate inspection activities with clients and oversee quality for piping & static equipment such as Heat Exchangers, Columns, Pressure Vessels, Storage Tanks, and reactor/heaters. I review project quality management documents including ITP, WPS, and inspection checklists; verify MTCs and material traceability; and witness hydro testing and pneumatic testing, including internal cleaning and correct gasket installation.
I also drive corrective actions when issues arise—issuing and clearing NCRs with root cause analysis to prevent recurrence. I remain committed to the highest safety and quality standards on site, ensuring inspection and tests are carried out as per approved ITP, method statements, procedures, and drawings.
