Nondestructive Testing (NDT) Engineer

Advanced Infrastructure Design (AID), Inc. is a growing yet established consulting firm located in central New Jersey, offering professional services in non-destructive testing and evaluation (NDT/NDE) of highway infrastructure (bridges and pavements), pavement evaluation and design, geotechnical design and subsurface investigation, subsurface and utility mapping, and forensic studies. AID owns and operates an array of NDT equipment, including a Laser Crack Measurement System (LCMS), Falling Weight Deflectometer (FWD), various air-launched and ground-coupled Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) antennas, and many others such as a high-speed profiler and walking profilers. In addition, AID runs its own soils, asphalt, and concrete materials testing laboratory.

About the role

The “Engineer” position will involve performing engineering tasks in the field, office, and lab under the supervision of senior engineers and managers. Your primary responsibilities will be to support and carry out non-destructive testing, evaluation, and reporting as it relates to transportation infrastructure. You will also assist in other areas of work, such as Subsurface Utility Engineering (SUE), as needs dictate. Based on performance and company needs, this position offers potential for increased responsibility and growth within the firm.

Responsibilities

• Execute NDT/NDE projects, including site reconnaissance visits and NDT testing.
• Evaluate the existing condition of pavements.
• Locate subsurface utilities.
• Analyze conventional and NDT test data (e.g., GPR data, LCMS, and back-calculation of FWD data).
• Prepare proposals, compile cost estimates, and handle invoices.
• Prepare technically and grammatically sound project reports.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in civil engineering or a related field.
• At least 2 years of experience in NDT fields or 3+ years of experience in civil structural and infrastructure evaluation, such as materials testing.
• Familiarity with geophysical testing and analysis methods, including EMI and GPR.
• Knowledge of AutoCAD and GPR software (e.g., IDS-IQ Maps).
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to present complex information clearly.
• Strong organizational skills and the ability to manage multiple projects and deadlines.

Qualifications

• Knowledge of NDT technologies applied in civil engineering, particularly GPR for asphalt thickness measurement and Subsurface Utility Engineering (SUE).
• Experience with other NDT methods such as Impact Echo (IE), Surface Analysis of Seismic Waves (SASW), pavement testing and evaluation, Infrared Thermography, Electrical Resistivity, Ultrasonic Testing, FWD, or LCMS is desirable.
• Knowledge of geotechnical and geophysical engineering is preferred.
• Familiarity with CI/ASCE 38-22 standards and technical utility investigation is a plus.
• Proficiency in programming languages (e.g., MATLAB or Python) is preferred.

Benefits

• 401(k)
• 401(k) matching
• Dental insurance
• Health insurance
• Paid time off
• Vision insurance

Pay

$83,000 to $96,000 per year, based on experience and qualifications.
