Certified Welding Inspectors (CWIs) check that completed welding projects meet workmanship standards, code compliance, and the requirements set by employers, designers, or local jurisdiction.
While a welding inspector’s primary function is to inspect, CWIs are typically involved throughout the entire process, from selecting welders to complete the job to reviewing project specs and analyzing the final weld.
A quality CWI has to have excellent communication skills to clearly understand each role involved in the project, and they have to accurately report the status and workmanship of the weld to key stakeholders. CWIs are also responsible for giving constructive feedback to welders and correcting their processes when appropriate.
Certified Welding Inspectors are essential to projects of all dimensions because they provide quality control by monitoring the entire process. The American Welding Society tests all welding professionals to ensure they have the skills and knowledge for success.
