At TUV, I served as a Vendor Inspector, specializing in the inspection of critical engineering components

• Conducting visual inspections, dimensional checks, and material inspections according to project specifications and industry standards.
• Performing document reviews to ensure compliance with approved Inspection and Test Plans (ITPs), quality control procedures, and applicable codes and standards (e.g., ASME, API, ASTM).
• Implementing quality assurance measures to verify that vendors meet contractual obligations and regulatory requirements.

I started my professional career as a QA/QC engineer at the Velosi Lahore Office on Inspections and Risk-Based Inspection (RBI) Projects.Here, my Job responsibilities include and are not limited to

• Periodic inspection of static equipment & process piping (pressure vessels, heat exchangers, columns, & storage tanks) during on-stream and off-stream services and reporting of abnormal findings.
• Preparation of inspection report and finalization of corrective inspection recommendations based on inspection findings to mitigate risk and enhance reliability
