Asset Integrity Inspector
Durban
Summary
Having worked in the petrochemical industry for more than 20 years, I have successfully carried out inspection tasks and led inspection teams in the areas of non-destructive testing, mechanical and welding inspection, and asset integrity. As a seasoned Asset Integrity (API 653/570/510) Inspector, I am knowledgeable with safety procedures and industry requirements. I have ten years of experience as an inspector and twelve years as an inspection manager. I also hold certificates in welding and fabrication inspection (CWSIP 3.2 Equivalent), a national diploma in project management, and an advanced diploma in mechanical engineering. My emphasis on asset dependability and integrity guarantees the highest levels of safety and compliance in all quality assurance and inspection operations.
