What is a borescope inspector?

A Borescope Inspector is responsible for using a specialized optical instrument, called a borescope, to inspect internal components of machinery, engines, or structures without disassembly. They primarily work in industries like aerospace, automotive, and manufacturing to detect defects, cracks, or foreign object debris in hard-to-reach areas. Their role requires attention to detail, technical proficiency, and the ability to interpret inspection results to ensure safety and quality standards are met.

What are the typical daily responsibilities of a borescope inspector?

As a Borescope Inspector, you'll routinely use specialized borescope equipment to examine the internal components of engines, turbines, or pipes for signs of wear, corrosion, or damage. Your day may involve preparing reports, documenting findings with photographs or video, and communicating inspection results to engineers or maintenance supervisors. You may also calibrate and maintain your inspection equipment and follow strict safety and quality procedures to ensure accuracy. Borescope inspectors often work both independently and as part of a team in industrial, aerospace, or energy settings, where attention to detail is critical for ensuring equipment reliability and compliance.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a borescope inspector?

To thrive as a Borescope Inspector, you need a strong background in mechanical inspection, attention to detail, and knowledge of industrial or aerospace maintenance requirements, often supported by relevant technical certifications or training. Familiarity with borescope equipment, non-destructive testing (NDT) methods, and digital imaging systems is typically essential. Strong observational skills, problem-solving abilities, and effective communication help inspectors accurately report findings and collaborate with maintenance teams. These competencies ensure precise defect detection and documentation, crucial for maintaining operational safety and compliance standards.

How do you perform a borescope inspection?

A Borescope Inspector performs a borescope inspection by inserting a flexible or rigid optical device into equipment or structures to visually examine internal components. The inspector captures images or videos for analysis, ensuring proper lighting and positioning, often following specific procedures and safety protocols. Certification and familiarity with the equipment are essential for accurate inspections.

Combustion Inspector - Traveling

Burrow Global Construction, LLC

Jacksonville, FL • On-site

Part-time

Re-posted 15 days ago


Job description

Burrow Global is seeking an experienced Field Combustion & Turbine Inspector to perform visual, dimensional, and Non-Destructive Examination (NDE/NDT) inspections on industrial Gas and Steam Turbine systems. In this role, you will lead or support field inspections during planned maintenance outages, Hot Gas Path Inspections (HGPI), combustion inspections, and major overhauls.

The ideal candidate possesses deep technical expertise in heavy-frame industrial turbines, rotating equipment mechanics, and combustion hardware, alongside the flexibility to travel across industrial power and energy facilities in Texas and Michigan.

Key Responsibilities

Inspection & Technical Execution

  • Perform thorough physical, visual (VT), and borescope inspections on gas turbine combustion components (fuel nozzles, liners, transition pieces, flow sleeves) and steam turbine path hardware.
  • Execute high-precision mechanical measurements, including rotor runout, tip clearance, diaphragm alignments, bearing clearances, and casing measurements.
  • Perform Non-Destructive Testing/Examination (NDT/NDE) techniques—such as Dye Penetrant (PT), Magnetic Particle (MT), and Ultrasonic Testing (UT) to detect surface/subsurface flaws, thermal fatigue, or erosion.
  • Evaluate component wear, thermal barrier coating (TBC) degradation, corrosion, and erosion against OEM specifications and industry standards.

Field Outage Support & Quality Control

  • Support major and minor outage projects, plant turnarounds, and emergency shutdowns for power plants, refineries, and manufacturing sites.
  • Supervise disassembly of turbine systems, component evaluations, and reassemblies to ensure work complies with OEM tolerances and quality control guidelines.
  • Collaborate with Field Service Engineers, Outage Managers, and Plant Maintenance Supervisors to document findings, recommend repairs, or advise on component replacements.

Reporting & Documentation

  • Generate detailed inspection reports, photographic documentation, clear measurement logs, and Non-Conformance Reports (NCR) in a timely manner.
  • Document asset condition trends and provide root-cause failure analysis (RCA) support for damaged hardware.

Safety & Compliance

  • Maintain strict adherence to site-specific safety protocols, OSHA standards, Lockout/Tagout (LOTO), Confined Space Entry, and Hot Work Permitting.
  • Participate in daily pre-task safety briefs (Toolbox Talks) and advocate for a safety-first culture on-site.

Qualifications & Requirements

  • Education: Associate degree in Mechanical Engineering Technology, NDT Technology, or equivalent military/industrial technical training. (High School Diploma/GED accepted with equivalent extensive field experience).
  • Experience: 5+ years of hands-on experience in steam and gas turbine inspection, field service, or overhauls (GE, Siemens, Mitsubishi, Solar, or similar platforms).
  • Technical Certifications:
    • ASNT Level II or III in Visual Testing (VT), Liquid Penetrant Testing (PT), or Magnetic Particle Testing (MT) preferred.
    • OSHA 10/30-Hour Safety Certification is a plus.
  • Travel Requirements:
    • Must possess a valid driver’s license and clean driving record.
    • Willingness to travel extensively (75%+), primarily between sites in Texas and Michigan, with occasional work outside the core region depending on client needs.
    • Willingness to work extended shifts, weekends, and holidays during peak outage seasons (Spring/Fall).

Physical Working Conditions

  • Must be comfortable working in industrial environments, high-temperature zones, confined spaces, and at elevated heights.
  • Capability to lift up to 50 lbs and climb vertical ladders, scaffolding, and stairs.
  • Ability to pass required occupational health screenings (e.g., respiratory fit tests, pulmonary function testing).
