What You Will Do:

As a Certified Welding Inspector (CWI) specializing in NDT/NDE, you will guide metals technicians on intricate projects that demand advanced testing expertise. You will oversee other technicians on assignments, make technical decisions related to project timelines, and carry out laboratory and metals testing tasks with minimal oversight. Your role will involve fieldwork, which may include safely ascending steel structures like buildings, cell towers, and water tanks to heights over 200 feet, using fall protection gear and personal fall arrest systems.

  • Field Operations: You perform inspections and utilize non-destructive testing techniques to maintain high-quality standards. A large portion of your field inspection time is dedicated to non-destructive testing (NDT) activities, such as ultrasonic testing (UT) of welds and/or magnetic particle testing (MT) of welds.
  • Assignment Management: You coordinate testing assignments across various projects, ensuring each one succeeds.
  • Equipment Maintenance: Keep testing equipment operational and calibrated; this may involve managing field and lab equipment inventories, maintaining formal calibration records, and participating in quality system audits.
  • Comprehensive Reporting: You create detailed reports to effectively communicate your findings.

The position will require 50+ hour workweeks (during periods of peak workload), as well as off-shift and weekend work, as required. Experience in Safety, DDC, NDT, and Radiation Training, including the use of fall protection equipment and personal fall arrest systems, is a plus.


Qualifications:

  • Education: High School Diploma/GED
  • Experience: Minimum of 5 years of NDT/NDE metals testing experience OR an associate degree in a closely related field
  • Certifications:
    • AWS Certified Welding Inspector (CWI)
    • Achievement of ASNT Level II certification per ASNT-SNT-TC-1A in at least four methods
    • Additional industry-related certifications, a plus:
      • ICC certification in Building Inspections and/or Structural Steel Inspection
      • Level II for UT, PT, MT certifications

Working Conditions and Physical Demands:

You are willing and able to perform the physical demands of this position with the use of Company-provided Personal Protective Equipment, such as:

  • Ability to climb heights over 200 feet
  • Working the majority of the time outdoors in varying weather conditions
  • Routinely lifting and carrying 40-50lbs (field/laboratory samples and equipment)
  • Working outside of normal business hours and traveling (typically out-of-town and/or overnight) as project needs arise
