QA/QC MANAGEMENT
ROLES.
The shield of the organization. Define the Quality Management System (QMS) and ensure absolute code compliance across all projects.
MISSION OBJECTIVES
THE COMPLIANCE ARCHITECT
You are the interface between the code book and the profit margin. As a QA/QC Manager, you build the framework that technicians work within. Whether you are defending a Joint Review for an ASME stamp or rewriting a Written Practice (SNT-TC-1A), your decisions protect the company from liability. You don't just find defects; you prevent the systemic failures that cause them.
- Develop and maintain the company Written Practice for Personnel Qualification and Certification.
- Host and defend external audits from clients, ASME, API, and ISO registrars.
- Disposition Non-Conformance Reports (NCRs) and drive Root Cause Analysis (RCA) for corrective actions.
- Approve technical procedures and NDT techniques to ensure alignment with project specifications.
