S&ME is looking for an experienced technician ready to take your career to new heights as an NDT/NDE Technician on our Metals team out of Raleigh, North Carolina. With no two days alike, you'll build skills that matter and leave your mark on the safety of the structures that shape our community.

As an NDT/NDE Technician, you'll play a crucial role in ensuring the structural integrity and safety of our projects by visually inspecting structural steel, including bolted and welded connections.

Your Day-to-Day:

• Project Testing Assignments: Juggle testing assignments across projects, contributing to the success of each endeavor.
• Equipment Maintenance and Calibration: Maintain testing equipment in working order and calibration; can include managing field and laboratory equipment inventories, formal calibration records, and participating in quality systems audits.
• Report Creation: Craft detailed reports to effectively communicate findings.

This position may require working 50+ hours per week (during periods of peak workload), as well as off-shift and weekend work, as needed. Experience in Safety, DDC, NDT, and Radiation Training, including the use of fall protection equipment and personal fall arrest systems, is a plus.

What You Bring:

• Minimum of 3 years of NDT/NDE metals testing experience OR an associate degree in a closely related field
• Active industry-related certifications:
  • AWS Certified Welding Inspector (CWI) certification or working towards it
  • Achievement of ASNT Level II certification per ASNT-SNT-TC-1A in at least one method
  • Additional certifications, a plus:
    • ICC certification in Building Inspections and/or Structural Steel Inspection
    • Level II for UT, PT, MT certifications
• Valid U.S. driver's license or an International Driving Permit (IDP) valid for driving in the United States, with an acceptable driving record
• Ability to safely operate a company-assigned vehicle, including trucks and SUVs
• Willingness to complete a background check, driving record check and drug screen upon offer of employment

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:

• Working the majority of the time outdoors in varying weather conditions
• Climbing heights over 200 feet
• Routinely lifting and carrying 40-50 lbs. of materials and equipment
• Safely handling field tools and maneuvering equipment on active construction sites
• Working outside of normal business hours and traveling (typically out-of-town and/or overnight) as project needs arise
