What is a Kelly interpreter?

Kelly Interpreters are professionals employed or contracted through Kelly Services, a global workforce solutions company, who provide language interpretation services. These interpreters facilitate communication between individuals who speak different languages, often in settings such as healthcare, legal, business, or educational environments. They may work in person, over the phone, or via video to ensure clear and accurate communication. Kelly Interpreters are typically required to be fluent in at least two languages and possess strong listening and communication skills.

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

To thrive as a Kelly Interpreter, you need excellent proficiency in at least two languages, strong listening skills, and typically a relevant certification or degree in interpretation or translation. Familiarity with interpretation equipment, remote interpreting platforms, and industry-specific terminology is often required. Outstanding interpersonal skills, cultural sensitivity, and the ability to remain calm under pressure help interpreters stand out. These competencies are crucial for accurately facilitating communication and ensuring mutual understanding in diverse professional settings.

What are some common challenges Kelly interpreters face when working in fast-paced environments, and how can they effectively manage them?

Kelly Interpreters often work in dynamic settings such as hospitals, legal proceedings, or corporate meetings, where conversations can move quickly and unpredictably. One common challenge is keeping up with rapid speech or technical terminology while ensuring accuracy and confidentiality. To manage these situations, interpreters should continuously develop their subject-matter expertise, employ note-taking techniques, and communicate proactively with team members or clients if clarification is needed. Additionally, regular training and collaboration with peers can help build resilience and adaptability in high-pressure scenarios.

NDT Level II Technician (VT / PT / MT)

DIRECT HIRE

Defense Shipbuilding | Protect What Matters

Hampton, VA (On-site)
1st Shift: 8:00 AM – 4:00 PM
$30–$38/hr (based on experience + shift differential)


Build the Fleet. Safeguard the Mission.

Kelly® is hiring a certified NDT Level II Technician to support critical defense shipbuilding programs in Hampton, VA. This is more than inspection—it’s precision work that directly supports the integrity and safety of naval vessels.

If you take pride in accuracy, accountability, and technical excellence, this is your chance to step into a role where your work truly matters.


What You’ll Do
  • Perform Visual (VT), Penetrant (PT), and Magnetic Particle (MT) inspections
  • Interpret and disposition inspection results per NAVSEA, ASNT, and customer standards
  • Set up, calibrate, and verify NDT equipment
  • Conduct inspections on welds, ship structures, and fabricated assemblies
  • Document results with full traceability and compliance
  • Support audits, corrective actions, and quality investigations
  • Assist in mentoring Level I technicians
  • (If qualified) Interpret radiographic film or digital images

What You Bring
  • Current NDT Level II certifications (VT, PT, MT) per ASNT SNT-TC-1A
  • Proven ability to interpret and disposition results independently
  • Experience in shipbuilding, welding, or industrial inspection environments
  • Ability to read engineering drawings, weld symbols, and specs
  • Strong attention to detail and sound technical judgment

Bonus Points If You Have
  • Experience or certification in UT and/or RT
  • Radiographic film interpretation experience
  • Familiarity with NAVSEA standards
  • Multi-method certifications and desire to grow

Certification Requirements (Required for Hire)

This is a certified role. Candidates must provide:

  • Current Level II certification documentation (by method)
  • Verified experience hours
  • Formal attestation of certification accuracy
Work Environment
  • Shipyard/industrial setting (confined spaces & heights at times)
  • PPE required
  • Must meet vision and physical requirements

Why This Role Stands Out
  • Work on mission-critical defense programs
  • Competitive pay with shift differential
  • Opportunity to expand into UT/RT and advanced methods
  • Be part of a team where quality = safety

Ready to bring precision to the front line of defense manufacturing?

Apply today and put your NDT expertise to work where it truly counts.
