• Perform advanced NDE in accordance with established procedures and applicable codes (ASME Section V, B31.1, etc.), independently or as part of a team 
• Conduct PAUT inspections on high energy piping, pressure vessels, boiler components, and structural weldments 
• Set up, calibrate, and operate phased array ultrasonic equipment (e.g., OmniScan MX3 or equivalent) 
• Acquire and interpret PAUT data, including identification and characterization of indications and flaw sizing 
• Prepare clear, accurate, and defensible inspection reports for client and engineering evaluation 
• Work closely with engineers and metallurgists to support integrity assessments and failure investigations 
• Assist in development and continuous improvement of NDE procedures, techniques, and reporting methods 
• Maintain NDE equipment in a clean, organized, and calibrated condition 
• Adhere to a strong safety culture and comply with all site-specific safety requirements 
• Travel to job sites, outages, and Intertek offices as required
