Inspector, Non-Destructive Test

Test the safety of structures, vehicles, or vessels using x-ray, ultrasound, fiber optic or related equipment by performing the following duties.

•    Interpret or evaluate test results in accordance with applicable codes, standards, specifications, or procedures. 
•    Interpret the results of all methods of non-destructive testing (NDT) such as acoustic emission, electromagnetic, leak, liquid penetrant, magnetic particle, neutron radiographic, radiographic, thermal or infrared, ultrasonic, vibration analysis, and visual testing. 
•    Select, calibrate, or operate equipment used in the non-destructive testing (NDT) of products or materials. 
•    Examine structures or vehicles such as aircraft, trains, nuclear reactors, bridges, dams, and pipelines using non-destructive testing (NDT) techniques. 
•    Make radiographic images to detect flaws in objects while leaving objects intact. 
•    Identify defects in solid materials using ultrasonic testing techniques. 
•    Prepare reports on non-destructive testing (NDT) results. 
•    Conduct liquid penetrant tests to locate surface cracks by coating objects with fluorescent dyes, cleaning excess penetrant, and applying developer. 
•    Document non-destructive testing (NDT) methods, processes, or results. 
•    Produce images of objects on film using radiographic techniques. 
•    Visually examine materials, structures, or components using tools and equipment such as endoscopes, closed circuit television systems, and fiber optics for signs of corrosion, metal fatigue, cracks, or other flaws. 
•    Map the presence of imperfections within objects using sonic measurements. 
•    Identify defects in concrete or other building materials using thermal or infrared testing. 
•    Develop or use new non-destructive testing (NDT) methods such as acoustic emission testing, leak testing, and thermal or infrared testing. 
•    Evaluate material properties using radio astronomy, voltage and amperage measurement, or rheometric flow measurement. 
•    Perform other duties like crawler inspection and metrology as assigned.
