- Qualify welding procedures (WPS/PQR) and welders (WPQ), and track weld repairs, welder performance, and consumables.
- Raise and close NCRs, run internal audits, and write SOPs and work instructions.
- Coordinate witness and hold points with customer inspectors and TSSA Authorized Inspectors.
- Compile and sign off final documentation packages for our clients.
What You Bring
- A bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering, or equivalent.
- CWB Level 2 Welding Inspector certification.
- Senior-level quality experience in pressure vessel fabrication, nuclear and non-nuclear.
- Detailed knowledge of ASME Sections I, V, VIII, and IX, CSA N285.0 and N299, and NDE methods.
- Experience leading people and technical projects, and the confidence to hold the quality line under schedule pressure.
- Clear communication with production teams, customers, suppliers, and inspectors.
Nice to Have
- Experience working with TSSA Authorized Inspectors and customer source inspectors.
- Experience writing SOPs and work instructions.
- Strong presentation and computer skills.
Why Hooper
- A salary of $125,000–$145,000, plus health benefits, vacation, RRSP, bonus, and other compensation.
- A leadership role in a growing nuclear supplier, with real ownership of quality.
