About The Position

The RT Technician performs and witnesses nondestructive testing (NDT) and quality control inspections for internal and external customers, third-party inspectors, and engineering and manufacturing representatives. The role includes setting up, verifying, and calibrating NDT equipment; interpreting radiographic film and digital CR/DR images; selecting radiographic techniques and exposure parameters; applying relevant codes, procedures, specifications, and acceptance criteria; and recording and communicating inspection results. The technician works independently with limited supervision, supports the development and review of NDT procedures and work instructions, and may provide technical guidance and informal training to junior technicians. Quality control duties include reviewing manufacturing and quality documentation, performing in-process and final inspections, witnessing and documenting Factory Acceptance Testing, identifying and documenting non-conformances, and conducting dimensional inspections with precision measuring equipment.
