Work Experience

2024 – Present TPI AGENCY

Technical Inspector

Reviewed and verified material test certificates and mill test reports for pipes, valves, and structural steel against EN 10204 3.1/3.2 and project material specifications.
Conducted Factory Acceptance Tests for LNG gearboxes, including dimensional accuracy checks, load testing, and performance validation in accordance with API 613 requirements.
Performed hydrostatic shell tests on gate, globe, and check valves to verify pressure integrity and leak tightness as per API 598 standards.
Executed helium leak testing on bellows-sealed valves and nuclear components to confirm leak rates met RCC-M 2007 nuclear code requirements.
Conducted dielectric strength testing and functional validation of medium-voltage switchgear and UPS systems for IEC 61439 compliance.
Performed precision measurement of restriction orifices and flowmeter bore diameters using calibrated instruments to verify ±0.05mm tolerance adherence per ISO 5167.
Conducted dynamic load testing and operational safety checks on 40-ton pneumatic hoists and lifting equipment in accordance with ISO 4301 lifting standards.
Performed thermal performance testing of shell-and-tube heat exchangers, including pressure drop analysis and tube-to-tubesheet joint inspections per ASME Section VIII.
Conducted short-circuit withstand testing of generator circuit breakers at 63kA fault current levels in accordance with IEEE C37.013 protocols.
Performed PMI using XRF analyzers and hardness testing of crusher wear components to confirm HB 450 hardness compliance for mining equipment.
Coordinated with vendors such as Schneider Electric and GE Vernova to expedite production and testing of switchgear and circuit breakers to meet project schedules.
Followed up with manufacturers for submission and approval of material certificates and quality documentation for valves and piping components prior to shipment.
Expedited FAT completion and witness testing for heat exchangers and pressure vessels by liaising between clients including Aramco and ENEL and suppliers including Kelvion and Alfa Laval.
Accelerated delivery of nuclear-grade valves by resolving bottlenecks in material procurement and NDT testing at supplier facilities in France.
Tracked and prioritized shipment of UPS systems and electrical panels to meet construction milestones for power plant projects in the Middle East.
Verified packing and shipping documentation compliance for oversized equipment such as transformers and turbines to prevent customs clearance delays.
Expedited resolution of non-conformance reports for welding defects and material discrepancies to minimize project schedule impacts.
Coordinated urgent air freight of replacement parts for critical path equipment during plant shutdown maintenance activities.
Conducted on-site vendor visits to assess production status and implement recovery plans for delayed mechanical packages and skid-mounted systems.
