Please refer ISO 3834-5, Annex A. 
I think you can sign the document.

Where do you want to sign on WPS/PQR ? as a preparer or checker or approver ? 
You may not sign in any of these areas,  The role  is to perform quality checks during manufacturing  and it shall be defined by your QA/QC manager / Document systems. 
 
You can assist IWE/IWT for preparing WPS/PQR , but the final responsibilities lie with the IWE/IWT holder only. 
Even some case, IWT holders sign itself not accepted by some clients

Refer ISO 3834-2 , Clause 7.3

Also, as per above link, 

It's clear that RWC is not a portable title since There is no actual qualification for personnel responsible for welding coordination. 
only IWE, IWT , IWS  have been accepted as satisfying the specific knowledge requirements for Responsible Welding Coordinators.


Thanks and Regards
