Identify workflow bottlenecks and reallocate labour/resources as project priorities dictate. Quality Assurance and Technical Oversight Inspect fabricated components for accuracy, finish, and conformance to drawings and tolerances. You will catch the issues others miss: a wrong hole dimension, an off-spec weld, a detail that does not match the drawing.

Safety and Compliance Own health and safety on the floor without prompting. Welding screens up, PPE enforced, hazards addressed before they become incidents.
