Core Responsibilities

Testing Operations: Perform NDT methods—such as Ultrasonic (UT), Magnetic Particle (MT), Dye Penetrant (PT), or Radiographic (RT) testing—to detect internal and external weld flaws (e.g., cracks, porosity, or lack of fusion).
Equipment Management: Calibrate, maintain, and troubleshoot specialized inspection and testing equipment to ensure accuracy and reliability.
Code Compliance: Review blueprints, welding symbols, and Welding Procedure Specifications (WPS) to verify that welding operations align with codes set by the American Welding Society or other regulatory bodies.
Reporting: Document findings, generate formal inspection reports, and identify non-conforming work requiring repair or remediation.
Field & Lab Work: Collaborate with project managers, structural engineers, and welders across construction sites, manufacturing plants, shipyards, or refineries.

Key Qualifications

Welding Proficiency: Background in structural welding processes like GMAW, GTAW, SMAW, or FCAW.
NDT Certifications: ASNT (American Society for Nondestructive Testing) Level II or III certifications in specific testing disciplines (VT, MT, PT, UT, RT).
Inspection Credentials: Often requires or highly values an AWS Certified Welding Inspector (CWI) credential.
Blueprint Reading: Strong ability to interpret engineering drawings, welding symbols, and technical specifications.
Safety Knowledge:
