QA/QC Quality Inspector - Day Shift | Tulsa, Oklahoma
At Energy Exchanger Company, we hold the standard. We care about reputation. We take pride in our work.
If "close enough" isn't good enough, you'll probably like it here.
And it's a pretty great Quality team to work with, some might say. We've got some super cool people who care about each other and the work, and might tell a joke or two... but they aren't usually funny. But that's the only low expectations you should have.
We're looking for an experienced QA/QC Floor Inspector who naturally stays engaged, takes ownership, learns quickly, and takes pride in making sure every exchanger leaves our facility built correctly, inspected thoroughly, and documented completely.
Energy Exchanger Company has manufactured custom ASME Code shell and tube heat exchangers since 1974. Every unit that leaves our facility carries our name, and we are looking for an inspector who takes that responsibility personally.
This position requires someone who is equally effective on the production floor and at a computer. You must stay visible, anticipate inspection needs, coordinate required notifications, maintain accurate records, and follow every requirement through completion.
We're a team here. If you care about your character and reputation, and care about your team and care about your company's reputation, then you might want to apply. The right person stays engaged, makes themselves available, asks thoughtful questions, retains what they learn, and takes pride in helping every product leave our facility built and documented correctly.
What You Will Do
- Perform in-process and final inspections of ASME Section VIII shell and tube heat exchangers.
- Verify compliance with engineering drawings, customer specifications, ASME Code requirements, TEMA standards, and company procedures.
- Proactively coordinate required hold points and witness points with Authorized Inspectors, customer source inspectors, Production, Engineering, and other internal departments.
- Prepare and issue timely inspection notifications so required inspectors are available without unnecessarily delaying production.
- Perform or evaluate VT, PT, MT, WFMT, RT, and UT activities within the scope of your qualifications.
- Read and interpret fabrication drawings, weld symbols, engineering documents, customer specifications, and applicable inspection requirements.
- Verify material identification, traceability, dimensions, fit-up, weld quality, and required markings throughout fabrication.
- Review weld maps, travelers, MTRs, NDE reports, inspection records, and supporting quality documentation for accuracy and completeness.
- Complete computer-based & wet-ink inspection forms, logs, lists, spreadsheets, and other electronic quality records accurately and on time.
- Learn and consistently follow Energy Exchanger Company’s material identification, marking, traceability, inspection, and documentation systems.
- Communicate non-conformances and inspection concerns promptly, clearly, and professionally.
- Follow identified issues through resolution rather than assuming someone else will handle them.
- Help prevent quality problems before they reach the customer and identify practical opportunities to improve quality and consistency.
The Person Who Will Succeed Here
You naturally stay connected to the work. You walk the floor, know what operations are approaching, and make yourself easy to find when employees need an inspection or quality decision.
You also understand that paperwork is part of the product. An inspection is not complete until the documentation is accurate, required markings and traceability are verified, notifications have been issued, and the project can move forward with confidence.
You ask questions when you do not know something. You listen carefully, retain what you learn, and apply it correctly the next time. You want to improve your knowledge rather than rely only on what you did in a previous position.
You notice details, remain steady and even-tempered, and communicate without creating unnecessary conflict. You are willing to stop or question work when requirements are not met, but your goal is always to help the team solve the issue and build the product correctly.
You follow through consistently—even when no one is reminding you.
