The job of welding inspector comes with lot of responsibility and dedication in ensuring the quality and safety of welded work in various structures.

• Quality of work done by the welders is tested based on the variables such as; the process, metal type and thickness, filler metal type, electrical parameters, joint design and welding position, noticing and documenting errors or faulty work, and recommending corrective measures.
• The most important test which they conduct is ultrasonic nondestructive testing, where a check is performed on the safety of welds in structures and for any defects and cracks that can jeopardize the safety of the structure. And to conduct some of the necessary welding tests, such as checking for cracks and testing welding strength, an inspector may need to use flashlights and magnifying glasses.
• They are also responsible to check whether a welding joint has any cold welds or any undercuts. Today many companies who are in the field of metal work are relying on welding inspector to successfully operate their business.
• Their daily work involves preparing reports that document the work that has been done, the quality of that work and whether or not a welding job has been satisfactorily completed as per certain industrial guidelines that differ from one industry to another.
