The Role

As our Quality Control Manager, you will run our Quality Control System and lead a QC team of 4–5 in Oakville.

Lead and develop the QC team, and plan and track inspections across multiple active jobs.
Prepare and revise ITPs, NDE matrices, weld and NDE maps, and PMI checklists.
Perform and oversee dimensional, fit-up, visual, and weld inspections, and review NDE, hydrotest, and PWHT requirements.
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.

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.
