What I'm looking for

I seek a supervisory welding role in oil & gas or construction where I can lead teams, ensure quality and safety, and deliver complex onshore/offshore projects on schedule.

I am an experienced welding supervisor and coordinator with over 18 years of experience across India and international projects in oil and gas, including LNG/LPG, offshore platforms, and cross-country pipelines.

I have led welder qualification tests (WQT), prepared PQRs, and managed welding activities using GTAW, SMAW, SAW, FCAW and GMAW on materials including stainless steel, carbon steel, aluminum, Inconel and Monel.

I supervise and coordinate subcontractor manpower, ensure compliance with drawings, codes and safety procedures, oversee NDT activities (MT, PT, UT, RT), and manage site setup, permits and productivity reporting.

I am safety-focused, experienced in heavy fabrication, shipyard and pipeline construction, and adept at delivering projects on schedule while maintaining quality and regulatory compliance.
