NDE Tech-UT/PAUT

Responsibilities

• Perform Phased Array Ultrasonic Testing (PAUT) on tank and vessel weldments in accordance with ASME, API, and customer-specific codes and procedures
• Conduct PAUT on austenitic and dissimilar metal welds, accounting for material-specific challenges such as beam attenuation, anisotropy, and grain noise
• Perform supplemental NDE methods, including Magnetic Particle Testing (MT), Liquid Penetrant Testing (PT), vacuum box testing, and other surface examination techniques as required by project scope
• Set up, calibrate, and operate PAUT equipment and associated probes, wedges, and scanners
• Interpret, evaluate, and document examination results in compliance with applicable acceptance criteria and codes (ASME Section V / VIII, API 650/620)
• Accurately produce NDE deliverables, including scan plans, examination records, and reports per applicable design codes, company standards, and customer specifications
• Cook with welding engineers, project engineers, and field supervision to resolve NDE-related issues and support construction schedules
• Provide on-the-job guidance and oversight to NDE Level I personnel and trainees, as applicable
• Effectively use document management systems and project collaboration tools
• Proactively embrace and promote the company’s HSE requirements and culture at all times

Qualifications

• Certification in Phased Array Ultrasonic Testing Level II with a minimum of two years of experience. Acceptable certification paths include ASNT (SNT-TC-1A, CP-189, or ACCP) or PCN (ISO 9712).
• ToFD (Time of Flight Diffraction) qualification or certification is preferable.
• Demonstrated ability to independently set up PAUT equipment, perform examinations, and interpret/evaluate results per applicable codes.
• Experience with Olympus OmniScan PAUT equipment is preferable.
• Working knowledge of ASME Section V, ASME Section VIII, and/or API 650/620 NDE requirements.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Excel and general computer skills for data recording and reporting.
• Experience with austenitic PAUT and familiarity with low-frequency longitudinal wave techniques and dual-matrix array probes are preferable.
• Additional NDE certifications (MT, PT, RT, VT, SFT) are highly preferable.
• Union Boilermaker membership or eligibility is preferable.
