Quality Responsible Engineer

JOB DESCRIPTION

The Quality Responsible Engineer (QRE) is accountable for ensuring end-to-end quality assurance and quality control across assigned critical equipment packages for an FPU project. The role ensures that package quality requirements are clearly defined, embedded into procurement and execution, verified through surveillance and testing, and delivered with complete, accurate documentation (Manufacturing Record Book / Dossier) to meet client specifications, applicable codes/standards, and project quality objectives.

This position is a key integrator between engineering requirements, vendor manufacturing, inspection/testing, and final handover, ensuring right-first-time delivery, minimal rework, and robust closure of quality issues.

Key Accountabilities & Responsibilities

1) Package Quality Planning & Requirements (Early Engagement)

• Review MR / PR / Datasheets / client specifications and translate requirements

into Supplier Quality Plans (SQP), Inspection & Test Plans (ITPs), checklists, and

surveillance strategies.

• Confirm package quality requirements are contractually captured in RFQ / PO /

T&Cs, including:

o Applicable codes/standards (API/ASME/IEC/ISO/NACE, etc.)

o Hold/Witness points, FAT/SAT requirements, calibration, traceability

o Documentation requirements and dossier format (MRB / MDR)

• Lead quality risk assessments for each package (criticality ranking, special

processes, long-lead risk, supply chain complexity) and implement mitigation

plans.

2) Supplier Quality Management & Vendor Surveillance

• Act as the focal point for supplier quality performance and ensure vendors

implement robust QA/QC systems.

• Perform/coordinate:

o Vendor qualification / capability audits (as required)

o Pre-production meetings to align on ITP, manufacturing sequence, special

processes, and acceptance criteria

o In-process surveillance (remote or on-site), including sub-vendor controls

• Ensure special processes are qualified and controlled (e.g., welding, NDE,

coating/painting, heat treatment, rubber lining, electrical testing, etc.).

3) Inspection, Testing, FAT Readiness & Execution

• Manage the inspection program across fabrication/manufacturing stages:

o Raw material verification and MTC/traceability

o Dimensional checks, functional tests, pressure tests, NDE, coating DFT

o Electrical/instrument tests (IR, continuity, loop checks where applicable)

• Coordinate and support FAT planning and execution:

o FAT procedure review, acceptance criteria, punch management, retest

requirements

o Ensure third-party attendance requirements are met and records are

complete

• Ensure equipment meets packaging, preservation, and shipment readiness

standards prior to dispatch.

4) Nonconformance, Corrective Actions & Continuous Improvement

• Lead the quality response for:

o NCR / deviation / concession / waiver processes

o Root cause analysis (RCA) and corrective/preventive actions (CAPA)

o Timely closure of quality actions with verified effectiveness

• Support project learning by capturing lessons learned and feeding them back

into package strategies and procurement templates.

5) Documentation, Dossier Completion & Handover

• Ensure complete and accurate manufacturing data book / dossier compilation:

o ITP records, inspection reports, test certificates
