What is a Corrosion Inspector?

A Corrosion Inspector is a professional responsible for assessing and monitoring the condition of materials, structures, and equipment to detect and evaluate corrosion damage. They use specialized tools and techniques to identify areas at risk and recommend corrective actions to prevent further deterioration. Corrosion Inspectors play a critical role in industries such as oil and gas, marine, construction, and manufacturing by helping ensure the safety, reliability, and longevity of assets. Their work helps organizations avoid costly repairs, downtime, and potential safety hazards.

What are some common challenges faced by Corrosion Inspectors during field inspections?

Corrosion Inspectors often encounter challenges such as working in harsh or remote environments, accessing difficult-to-reach areas, and dealing with varying weather conditions that can impact inspection accuracy. They must also ensure strict compliance with safety protocols, especially when working at heights or around hazardous materials. Effective communication with engineers, maintenance teams, and clients is essential to accurately report findings and recommend corrective actions, making teamwork and adaptability key skills in this role.

What is the difference between Corrosion Inspector vs NDT Technician?

AspectCorrosion InspectorNDT Technician
CertificationsCorrosion-related certifications (e.g., NACE, API)Non-destructive testing certifications (e.g., ASNT, AWS)
Work EnvironmentInspecting pipelines, tanks, and industrial equipment for corrosionPerforming testing on materials and welds using various NDT methods
Industry UsageOil & gas, petrochemical, infrastructureManufacturing, aerospace, energy sectors

While both roles involve inspection and safety, Corrosion Inspectors focus on identifying and evaluating corrosion issues, whereas NDT Technicians perform testing to detect flaws in materials. Both roles require specialized certifications and are vital in maintaining industrial safety and integrity.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Corrosion Inspector, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Corrosion Inspector, you need a solid understanding of material science, corrosion processes, and inspection standards, often backed by certifications such as NACE or API. Familiarity with technical tools like ultrasonic thickness gauges, visual inspection equipment, and specialized reporting software is essential. Attention to detail, analytical thinking, and effective communication are soft skills that set top performers apart in this role. These skills and qualifications are crucial for accurately identifying corrosion issues, ensuring asset integrity, and maintaining safety standards in industrial environments.

Job description



Full-time, Temporary work with overtime required

Heath Consultants is expanding! Our Field Operations team has been awarded a major project, and we are hiring Atmospheric Corrosion Inspectors (ACI) to support this work across multiple regions. No prior industry experience required—we provide all training and operator qualifications needed to succeed.

Join an organization that has supported the natural gas and utility industry since 1933. At Heath, your work protects communities, ensures regulatory compliance, and strengthens the safety of natural gas infrastructure nationwide.

About the Role

As an Atmospheric Corrosion Inspector, you will conduct regulated inspections on natural gas meter sets and above-ground piping systems to identify, document, and mitigate atmospheric corrosion. Your work plays a vital role in maintaining system integrity and preventing safety hazards.

This position requires outdoor work, field documentation, interaction with customers and property owners, and strict adherence to federal guidelines.

What You’ll Do

Perform Regulated Atmospheric Corrosion Inspections

  • Conduct thorough visual and physical examinations of gas meter sets exposed to the atmosphere.
  • Inspect corrosion-prone areas such as:
    • Soil-to-air interfaces
    • Pipe supports
    • Splash zones
    • Disbonded coatings
    • Exposed metallic components
  • Assess coating integrity and identify signs of surface rust, pitting, or advanced corrosion.

Perform Remediation When Needed

  • Conduct surface-level remediation at Heath’s/client’s discretion, including:
    • Wire brushing
    • Cleaning
    • Priming
    • Painting using approved materials
    • Application of protective coatings

Use Industry-Approved Tools & Technology

  • Utilize handheld equipment and specialized tools for corrosion assessment.
  • Use CGI/sniffer equipment for leak detection when required (including Minnesota inside meter protocols).
  • Complete all documentation in Survey123 / Service Suit, entering:
    • GPS location
    • Technician ID
    • Timestamp
    • Leak classification
    • Required photo angles
    • Notes on anomalies or corrosion

Identify and Report Safety Issues

  • Immediately contact the Call Center if gas odor or a hazardous condition is detected and remain on-site until relieved.

Customer Service & Access Management

  • Request entry for inside meter inspections (where applicable).
  • Communicate professionally with property owners to gain access, explain the inspection purpose, and ensure a positive experience.


Operator Qualification Requirements

(Heath provides all required training & testing.)

Depending on region, employees must obtain qualifications under:

  • ASME B31Q (TX)
  • MEA OQ Program (IN, OH) Covering skills such as:
  • Visual inspection for atmospheric corrosion
  • Abnormal operating conditions
  • Hazards of natural gas & ignition prevention
  • Coating application & repair
  • Leak investigation


What We’re Looking For

Must-Haves

  • Valid driver’s license with acceptable driving record
  • High school diploma or GED
  • Ability to work outdoors in all weather conditions
  • Ability to walk 4–7 miles per day, bend, kneel, and lift up to 25 lbs
  • Ability to work independently and follow regulatory procedures
  • Ability to use mobile devices and documentation applications

Nice-to-Haves

  • Experience in utility inspection, construction, field survey work, or related roles
  • Customer service or field service experience


Why This Role Matters

Atmospheric corrosion—metal deterioration caused by exposure to moisture, oxygen, and contaminants—can compromise the safety and reliability of the natural gas system. Your inspections help prevent leaks, protect communities, and ensure compliance with federal integrity regulations.
