Engineer - Procurement Quality Quality Assurance Control & Quality

• Control and monitor procurement-related QA/QC activities for vendors and subcontractors and develop the Supplier Quality Development (SQD) function within the QA/QC department. • Ensure purchased materials and equipment comply with approved engineering requirements, ADNOC specifications, applicable codes and project quality requirements through supplier evaluation, audits, document review, inspection, testing and effective closure of quality issues. • Control vendor and subcontractor QA/QC activities and develop the SQD function; establish technical and quality performance criteria with design and project engineering teams. • Evaluate and select suppliers against technical, safety and regulatory requirements; conduct on-site or remote assessments, pre-qualification audits and manufacturing-line evaluations. • Monitor supplier quality KPIs, defect rates and delivery timeliness; assess risks arising from single-point-of-failure dependencies, capacity constraints, quality concerns and delivery issues. • Develop contingency supply plans and mitigation measures; lead resolution of post-purchase quality, technical and delivery disputes, ensuring timely corrective action and satisfactory closure. • Review vendor documents against approved engineering drawings, datasheets, Material Requisitions (MRs) and Technical Bid Evaluations (TBEs); monitor compliance and resolve approval gaps. • Plan Quality Kick-Off Meetings and Pre-Inspection Meetings (PIMs); review vendor PIM packages and lead meetings with the client and vendor to agree quality, technical and inspection requirements. • Issue PIM Minutes of Meeting, track actions and concerns, and follow up with stakeholders until timely and satisfactory closure. • Coordinate with UAE and international package vendors to meet ADNOC specifications, standards, procedures and project requirements; verify complete documentation packages, material test reports, certificates of analysis and final handover files. • Oversee Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT), Site Acceptance Testing (SAT) and manufacturing surveillance against approved specifications, Inspection and Test Plans (ITPs) and project standards; review results and close quality issues before material or equipment acceptance. • Coordinate third-party inspection agencies, schedule inspections, raise and manage Requests for Inspection (RFIs), maintain the RFI log, and close inspection comments, concerns and actions. • Issue Non-Conformance Reports (NCRs) for findings during supplier audits, surveillance, inspections or testing; coordinate root-cause investigations, corrective and preventive actions, effectiveness verification and timely closure. • Review and verify Corrective and Preventive Action (CAPA) submissions and supporting quality records; assess root-cause analyses and corrective actions and follow up with vendors until effective implementation and satisfactory closure. • Maintain a Procurement Register covering procurement status, vendor progress, inspections, document approvals and delivery milestones; submit weekly management reports on progress, critical issues, risks and required actions. • Conduct weekly vendor quality review meetings; coordinate with procurement, engineering, project management, expediting, construction, document controllers and client representatives to resolve concerns and close project requirements. • Maintain the Supplier Quality Lessons Learned Register, recording recurring issues, root causes, corrective actions and improvement opportunities; optimize quality and inspection costs through risk-based inspection, improved planning and reduced rework and non-conformities. • Review and approve monthly quality reports issued by subcontractors and sub-vendors and submit them to the client. • Engineering degree or equivalent • Welding Inspector certification • Additional certification in supplier quality management or quality improvement, such as Six Sigma Green Belt • CSWIP 3.1 / 3.2 / AWS-SCWI certification • Painting Inspector BGAS/NACE • Internal Auditor/Lead Auditor certification • Minimum 12 years in oil and gas construction activities for onshore, offshore or rigs/shipbuilding • Solid procurement QA/QC experience on ADNOC projects • Experience developing supplier quality systems, managing supplier quality development international vendors and coordinating multi-package inspections • Practical inspection, manufacturing, testing and QA experience with pressure vessels, heat exchangers, manual and control valves, piping systems, storage tanks, chemical injection skids and structural steel fabrication • Experience in client and supplier audits, internal and external audits, and review of vendor documents, material certifications, fabrication procedures, ITPs, quality records and test reports • Familiarity with AGES / AGPS / AO specifications • Sound knowledge of ASME 31 and 16 series, Sections VIII Divisions 1 and 2, IX and V;
