Remote | Senior NDT Inspector (Level II/III) — $70–$110/hour
About The Position
24-MAG LLC is offering a fully remote, independent contractor consulting opportunity for experienced Senior NDT Inspectors with Level II or Level III expertise. The work involves interpreting radiographic and ultrasonic data, including PAUT, and evaluating MT and PT indications, welds, components, and inspection evidence against applicable codes. Inspectors will identify and assess discontinuities, distinguish reportable flaws from acceptable conditions, and make technically defensible accept/reject recommendations in complex or ambiguous cases. The role also includes reviewing thermographic imagery and remote visual inspection footage when required; resolving conflicting or incomplete evidence; preparing accurate reports that document findings, rationale, and recommended actions; explaining conclusions to varied audiences; and collaborating asynchronously with technical peers. Project scope, inspection methods, and applicable standards may vary. Work must not use confidential, proprietary, export-controlled, classified, customer-restricted, or otherwise protected third-party inspection data, documentation, or materials. No prior AI experience is required.
