Quality Inspector

This role is for an experienced Quality Inspector to support ongoing turbine generator rehabilitation and plant construction activities. This role serves as an embedded field resource during off-hours operations, acting as the on-site “eyes and ears” for Engineering, Project Services, and Inspection teams to ensure work is executed safely, efficiently, and in accordance with approved work packages, quality standards, and project specifications.

This position is intended to supplement the existing inspection team during continuous operations, outage activities, high-workload periods, and extended field machining operations. The role may initially focus on targeted second-shift or weekend coverage but could evolve into a longer-term night shift assignment supporting generator rehabilitation projects lasting 13–16 months.

Unlike a traditional passive inspection role, this position requires a hands-on field presence with active coordination between contractors, foremen, engineering, and plant personnel. The inspector will be expected to influence work execution in real time, hold contractors accountable to specifications and approved work packages, and provide structured communication between shifts and stakeholders.

The ideal candidate brings a broad industrial inspection background with experience across mechanical systems, electrical systems, and controls/instrumentation within power generation, hydroelectric, utility, heavy industrial, or similar environments.

• Verify workmanship, procedures, tolerances, and installation practices align with approved project requirements
• Continue work package review and validate field execution against approved scope throughout the shift
• Support overall QA/QC and compliance objectives for rehabilitation and modernization projects
• Assist in maintaining continuous inspection coverage during 24/7 operations and outage schedules

• Close out completed work packages and inspection activities
• Review field data, inspection records, IR documentation, and photos for completeness and accuracy
• Document work progress, contractor performance, quality concerns, and field observations
• Provide structured feedback and reporting back to Engineering, Project Services, inspectors, and incoming shifts
