Phased Array Jobs in New York (NOW HIRING)

Level II UT (NDT) Technician

Location: Staten Island, NY
Employment Type: Full-Time

About Our Client

Our Client is a well-established non-destructive testing (NDT) company headquartered in Staten Island, New York, serving the Tri-State area since 1986.

Our Client specializes primarily in Eddy Current Testing (EC) of heating and cooling systems, particularly chillers, while also providing Ultrasonic Testing (UT), Magnetic Particle Testing (MT), and Liquid Penetrant Testing (PT) services across commercial, industrial, and structural applications.

With nearly four decades of industry experience, Our Client has built a reputation for technical expertise, reliability, and delivering high-quality inspection services throughout New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut.

Position Overview

Our Client is seeking a Level II UT (NDT) Technician to join its growing field operations team.

This position is ideal for a candidate with strong Ultrasonic Testing experience, particularly in weld inspections, structural steel, cranes, and related applications. While UT, MT, and PT work are important aspects of the role, candidates should understand that approximately 90% of the day-to-day workload involves Eddy Current Testing of chillers and HVAC-related systems.

Prior Eddy Current Testing experience is not required, as Our Client is willing to provide training. However, candidates must possess strong UT fundamentals and be comfortable performing field inspections independently.

The successful candidate will work primarily throughout the New York and New Jersey metropolitan areas, with occasional assignments in Connecticut and limited overnight travel.
