• Review purchase orders, equipment specifications, datasheets, approved drawings, one-line diagrams, schematics, wiring diagrams, vendor drawings, and applicable project requirements prior to inspection.
• Verify equipment construction and configuration against approved drawings, specifications, data sheets, and purchase-order requirements.
• Witness electrical and mechanical testing as applicable
• Inspect PDC/e-house construction for compliance with approved drawings and project requirements, including equipment arrangement, internal wiring, grounding, lighting, HVAC interfaces, fire and gas interfaces, penetrations, labeling, cable routing, and overall workmanship.
• Verify switchgear and MCC components including breakers, contactors, starters, protective relays, meters, CTs, PTs, control power transformers, bus systems, grounding systems, terminal blocks, and auxiliary devices against approved documentation.
• Coordinate FATs and supplier inspections with suppliers, project teams, clients, and third-party inspection agencies.
• Review and approve supplier manufacturing and quality documentation in accordance with project requirements.
• Identify, document, track, and support resolution of nonconformances (NCRs), punch-list items, deficiencies, and supplier quality issues.
• Review supplier corrective-action responses and verify satisfactory closure of identified deficiencies.
• Review supplier deviation requests, concessions, and technical queries from a quality perspective and coordinate disposition with Engineering and Project Management.
• Verify that all required inspections, testing, documentation, and NCR/punch-list closures have been satisfactorily completed prior to recommending equipment release for shipment.
• Review final supplier documentation packages, FAT reports, test records, certificates, inspection reports, and quality dossiers/data books for completeness and compliance.
• Prepare detailed supplier inspection reports documenting inspection activities, test results, deficiencies, photographs, outstanding items, and recommended disposition.
• Support supplier audits, supplier qualification activities, and supplier performance evaluations.
• Monitor supplier quality performance and identify recurring manufacturing or quality issues requiring corrective action.
• Coordinate inspection activities with procurement, engineering, expediting, logistics, construction, commissioning, and project quality personnel.
