• Develop and review Fabrication plan / build strategies including suitability of work and environmental conditions (ergonomic and access to weld, wind protection requirements, temperature, rain) in order to formalize the optimum utilization of yard equipment and resources.
• Before start the job, ensure suitability and validity of welders\' and welding operators\' qualification certificates, suitability of WPS essential parameters range, verify identity of parent material, welding consumables, and proper working and environmental conditions are established.
• Review Dimension Control / Fit up inspections reports and guide the team for necessary proceedings to give the best fit for welding.
• During the welding ensure essential welding parameters (e.g. welding current, arc voltage and travel speed), preheating / interpass temperature, back gouging, are communicated to Welders and strictly followed as defined in applicable WPS.
• Also, cleaning and shape of runs and layers of weld metal, welding sequence and control of distortion, correct use and handling of welding consumables, any intermediate examination (e.g. checking dimensions) shall be implemented.
• Ensure PWHT is performed according to approved Heat Treatment Procedure Specification (HTPS). NDT before and after PWHT shall be completed as defined in applicable Standards, Procedures, Project Specifications and/or ITP.
• Implement traceability systems (WPS, welders, date welded, consumables) as per project requirements.
• Attend training for any activity required by the department.
• Ensure that welding supervision are fully conversant with the Inspection and Test Plan (ITP), Welding Traceability requirements, Welding consumable handling procedure and equipment in use are validated.
• Welding coordination tasks allocated to welding supervisor are defined in DDWD ISO 3834- 2 Manual, Annex 1.
