Are you an experienced NDT Inspector looking for an opportunity to work on complex structural steel and bridge fabrication projects while developing your qualifications?

We're partnering with an established structural steel fabrication company seeking a Level II NDT / NDE Quality Inspector to join its growing quality team.

This is a hands-on, shop-based opportunity offering long-term stability, technically challenging projects, and a company-supported pathway toward AWS Certified Welding Inspector (CWI) certification.

The Opportunity

You'll play an important role in ensuring the quality and integrity of structural steel components used in major construction and infrastructure projects.

Working alongside experienced inspectors, welders, fabricators, and engineers, you'll carry out non-destructive testing, interpret technical drawings, and ensure welds meet applicable codes and specifications.

Key Responsibilities

• Perform ultrasonic testing (UT) on structural steel welds and fabricated components.
• Conduct magnetic particle (MT), penetrant (PT), and visual (VT) inspections as required.
• Interpret fabrication drawings, welding symbols, and technical specifications.
• Identify, document, and communicate weld defects and inspection findings.
• Prepare accurate daily inspection reports and maintain quality records.
• Ensure inspection equipment is maintained and calibrated.
• Collaborate with production and quality teams to maintain compliance with project requirements.

What We're Looking For

• 5+ years of NDT / NDE experience, ideally within structural steel, bridge fabrication, or heavy industrial environments.
• Hands-on ultrasonic testing (UT) experience, preferably at Level II.
• ASNT SNT-TC-1A Level I and II training, with relevant Level II qualifications or progress toward certification.
• Familiarity with MT, PT, and VT inspection methods.
• Ability to interpret shop drawings, weld symbols, and complex steel fabrication details.
• Strong attention to detail, reporting skills, and a commitment to quality.

Desirable but not essential:

• AWS Certified Welding Inspector (CWI) certification.
• Previous experience inspecting structural steel or bridge weldments.
• Familiarity with AWS D1.1 or D1.5 welding codes.

What's on Offer?

• $28-$38 per hour, depending on experience and qualifications.
• Relocation assistance available.
• Company-supported pathway toward AWS CWI certification, subject to eligibility and service requirements.
• Medical, dental, and vision insurance options.
• 401(k) retirement plan.
• Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP), subject to eligibility.
• Stable, technically challenging structural steel and bridge fabrication projects.
• Opportunity to develop within an experienced quality inspection team.
