International Welding
Technologist
As an IWT (International Welding Technologist) we bridge engineering and the shop floor. We translate requirements into executable procedures, safeguard qualifications, and make your welding system perform predictably—from design and prototype to series production and final handover.
What does an IWT welding coordinator do?
We take the lead on welding technology so quality, lead time, and costs stay in balance.
- Procedures & qualifications
Draft/maintain WPS, guide WPQR, verify welder qualifications - Material & process selection
Material pairings, filler metals, shielding gases, heat input/interpass - Production support
Fit-up, back purging, distortion control, and on-floor troubleshooting - Documentation & traceability
Welding dossiers, certificates, measurement reports, and release
Approach
Fast, pragmatic, and aligned with your risk class and schedule.
- Intake & scope
Define requirements, standards, materials, processes, and planning - Quality plan / ITP
Inspection points, witness/hold, and acceptance classes - Implementation
Author WPS, supervise WPQR, brief operators, lock in parameters - Verification & handover
VT/NDT coordination, reporting, and final release
