What I'm looking for

I’m available for independent support in quality management, supplier capability assessment, inspection planning and QA/QC team development.

At Orbia Group of Companies, I provided quality oversight for nuclear reactors, pressure vessels, heat exchangers, columns, tanks, modules and rotary equipment across projects in the USA, Mexico, UK, Germany, Colombia, Japan and China.

Across oil and gas, refinery, petrochemical and fabrication projects, I managed QA/QC activities and supplier quality, from audits and inspection planning through fabrication, construction and mechanical completion. I coordinated client, engineering, procurement, contractor and third-party inspection activities, and managed inspection findings and corrective actions.

My work has included welding and mechanical inspection, NDT coordination, coating inspection, pressure testing and turnover documentation. I hold welding, coating, tank, pressure vessel, piping and pipeline inspection certifications, alongside ASNT Level II certification.
