Conduct underwater visual inspections of subsea structures, pipelines, risers, jackets, mooring systems, vessels, tanks, and marine facilities.
Perform inspections using diving equipment, remotely operated vehicles (ROVs), cameras, sonar, and other subsea inspection technologies.
Identify and document corrosion, cracks, coating deterioration, marine growth, deformation, erosion, leaks, weld defects, and other structural anomalies.
Carry out dimensional measurements, thickness measurements, and other non-destructive testing (NDT) activities where qualified.
Inspect underwater welds, structural members, anodes, clamps, supports, valves, and subsea equipment.
Collect photographic, video, measurement, and condition-monitoring data for technical evaluation.
Prepare accurate inspection reports, including defect descriptions, locations, measurements, photographs, and recommendations.
Verify inspection activities against approved procedures, drawings, specifications, inspection plans, and applicable standards.
Work closely with diving supervisors, ROV personnel, engineers, QA/QC teams, and offshore operations personnel.
Ensure all inspection equipment is properly calibrated, maintained, and fit for purpose.
Immediately report critical defects, unsafe conditions, leaks, or structural integrity concerns to the appropriate supervisor.
Participate in risk assessments, toolbox talks, permit-to-work activities, and emergency-response procedures.
Maintain accurate inspection records and ensure compliance with company HSE and quality requirements.
