Job Summary

Coating & Material Expertise:

- Oversee quality control procedures for subsea coatings (Xylan, Sermagard, phosphate, 3-coat epoxy).

- Review coating specifications and validate compliance through documentation and inspection.


Culture & Continuous Improvement:

- Champion a proactive quality culture across departments.

- Lead training and communication efforts to reframe quality as a business enabler.

- Identify inefficiencies and drive process improvements that enhance quality and operational agility.


Customer & Compliance Interface:

- Address customer quality concerns with root cause analysis and corrective action plans.

- Interface with certifying bodies and prepare for audits and renewals.


QUALIFICATIONS

- Minimum 5 years of experience in oil and gas manufacturing.

- Strong knowledge of API Q1 and ISO 9001 quality systems.

- Experience with precision machining, welding, fabrication, and oilfield equipment repair.

- Familiarity with subsea coatings including Xylan, Sermagard, phosphate, and 3-coat epoxy

- Demonstrated ability to implement quality systems and improvement

- Hands-on experience managing and mentoring QA/QC teams.

- Proficient in quality documentation, audit preparation, and root cause analysis.

- CWI certification and/or NACE Level 2 or 3 preferred, but not required.

- Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Quality, or related field preferred, but not required.


KEY COMPETENCIES

- Strong leadership and communication skills.

- Comfortable on the shop floor and in customer meetings.
