S&ME is seeking an individual passionate about ensuring the structural integrity of steel to join our NDE/NDT team in Duluth, Georgia as an NDT/NDE Certified Welding Inspector (CWI) and help us provide engineering solutions to our clients.

What You Will Do:

As a Certified Welding Inspector (CWI) specializing in NDT/NDE, you will guide metals technicians on intricate projects that demand advanced testing expertise. You will oversee other technicians on assignments, make some technical decisions related to project timelines, and carry out laboratory and metals testing tasks with minimal oversight. Your role will involve fieldwork, which may include safely ascending steel structures like buildings, cell towers, and water tanks to heights over 200 feet, using fall protection gear and personal fall arrest systems.

• Field Operations: You perform inspections and utilize non-destructive testing techniques to maintain high-quality standards. A large portion of your field inspection time is dedicated to non-destructive testing (NDT) activities such as ultrasonic testing (UT) of welds and/or magnetic particle testing (MT) of welds.
• Assignment Management: You coordinate testing assignments across various projects, ensuring the success of each one.
• Equipment Maintenance: Keep testing equipment operational and calibrated; this may involve managing field and lab equipment inventories, maintaining formal calibration records, and participating in quality system audits.
• Comprehensive Reporting: You create detailed reports to effectively communicate your findings.
  
  

The position will require 50 hour work weeks (during periods of peak workload), as well as off-shift and weekend work, as required. Experience in Safety, DDC, NDT, and Radiation Training, including the use of fall protection equipment and personal fall arrest systems is a plus.

Who You Are:

• You have a High School Diploma/GED
• You have a minimum of 3 years of NDT/NDE metals testing experience OR an associate degree in a closely related field
• You are an AWS Certified Welding Inspector (CWI)
• You have achievement of ASNT Level II certification per ASNT-SNT-TC-1A in at least one method
• You have additional certifications, a plus:

• Ability to climb heights over 200 feet
• Working outdoors the majority of the time in varying weather conditions
• Routinely lifting and carrying 40-50lbs, (field/laboratory samples and equipment)
