**What’s the role**

The Asset Inspector is responsible for pressure equipment integrity at our Scotford Upgrader. The role manages aspects of inspection, materials, welding, quality control, quality assurance, equipment design, procedure review, and creating or updating pressure equipment standards and specifications.

In addition, the Asset Inspector provides technical support to production and maintenance on day-to-day plant issues and during plant operational and equipment problems. The Asset Inspector ensures all pressure equipment is designed, fabricated, operated, inspected, maintained, altered and repaired in a manner that provides pressure equipment integrity conforming to required regulations and standards. This team member is an advocate for Pressure Equipment Safety and strives towards ZERO LEAKS. The Asset Inspector proactively improves and executes the site pressure equipment integrity management (PEIM) system and work processes.
