Senior Quality Inspector Instrumentation

Job Overview:

Provide senior field QC oversight for instrumentation and control-system installation, testing and completion, ensuring work conforms to approved drawings, specifications, ITPs, hazardous-area requirements and applicable international standards.

Our ingenuity fuels daily life. Together, we’ve forged some of the most trusted partnerships across the energy value chain to make what was once just an idea a reality: laying subsea infrastructure thousands of feet below sea level, installing platforms hundreds of miles from shore, using our expertise to design and build offshore wind infrastructure, and reshaping the onshore landscape to deliver the energy products the world needs safely and sustainably.

For more than 100 years, we've been making the impossible possible. Today, we're driving the energy transition with more than 30,000 of the brightest minds across 54 countries.
