Thu, 16 March, 2023

With The Welding Institute celebrating the 100th anniversary this year, we have been speaking to Professional Members to get their insights into being Members of The Institute.

We took some time to speak with MWeldI Vipin George IEng, FCMI, CMgr, CMSS, CQA who not only has a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering, but has 22 years of experience in the oil and gas upstream and EPC industries.

Currently based in the United Arab Emirates, where he runs his own SME, ‘VGQAE FZE,’ Vipin has a contract with the American Petroleum Institute for ‘Consulting Services for Auditing for APIQR/Monogram Programs.’

Having trained with TWI to become a CSWIP certified Welding Quality Control Coordinator, Vipin became a Professional Member of The Welding Institute in 2014.

Explaining why he decided to forge a career in engineering, Vipin also revealed his career highlights and some notable achievements before talking about becoming a Professional Member of The Institute and how it has benefitted his career.

Vipin finished his insightful interview with us by opening up about his aspirations for the future, offering some advice for his younger self and telling us why he thinks others should follow in his footsteps and become Professional Members of The Welding Institute.

We would like to thank Vipin for taking the time to speak with us, and you can read his interview in full on The Welding Institute website, here.
