The role independently verifies that mechanical piping fabrication and installation comply with contract documents, approved submittals, Welding Procedure Specifications (WPSs), applicable ASME and AWS requirements, manufacturer instructions, and B&I quality standards. The Inspector performs and documents visual examination of welds within the individual’s certification and project-authorized scope, verifies welder and procedure qualifications, tracks deficiencies and repairs through closure, and supports system testing, commissioning, and turnover.

Field leadership remains accountable for installation quality and correction of deficient work.

Field Inspection and Verification

• Perform routine, first-work, fit-up, in-process, final-weld, milestone, pre-concealment, and readiness inspections for mechanical piping systems and equipment connections.
• Verify fabrication and installation against current drawings, specifications, approved submittals, RFIs/ASIs, coordinated models, manufacturer instructions, approved WPSs, and applicable codes and standards.
• Inspect hydronic, condenser-water, steam, condensate, refrigerant, fuel-gas, equipment, and other assigned mechanical piping; verify fit-up, alignment, joint preparation, preheat/interpass controls where required, weld profile, supports, valves, specialties, access, cleanliness, and related trade interfaces.
• Apply required inspection checkpoints and hold points before concealment, insulation, startup, testing, or turnover when acceptance criteria have not been met.
• Coordinate inspection timing with the Superintendent, Foreman, Project Manager, and Regional QC Manager.

ACC Documentation and Corrective Action

• Complete assigned trade-specific QC checklists and inspection records in Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC) at the point of work.
• Create deficiencies in ACC with a clear description, exact location, responsible party, due date, supporting photo, and drawing or sheet reference when applicable.
• Track open deficiencies, verify completed corrective actions through reinspection, and close items only after conformance is confirmed.
• Maintain weld maps, weld logs, welder identification and continuity records, WPS/PQR/WPQ documentation, visual examination reports, weld-repair records, pressure-test records, flushing and cleaning documentation, and other required quality records.
• Provide concise status updates on completed inspections, open issues, overdue corrections,…
