Vacancy Description

This is no ordinary engineering apprenticeship. As a Non-Destructive Testing Engineering Technician, you’ll use various methods, such as ultrasonics, radiography and infrared thermography, to detect cracks and other imperfections in manufactured components, including those that have been in service for a period of time.

It’s an exciting role where you'll be at the heart of crucial decisions. Whether to operate, repair, or replace a component will hinge on your precise findings.

You'll gain a broad range of skills including:

• Three Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) methods, including a complex method, such as ultrasonics, eddy current, radiography or infrared thermography.
• The ability to apply multiple scientific principles to identify flaws obscured by structural or volumetric features that are not necessarily visible on the surface.
• Formula-based engineering and the scientific principles underpinning relevant current technologies.
• How to use materials, equipment, tools, processes and products relating to NDT.
• Preparation of NDT procedures, technique sheets and work instructions for use by NDT operators.
• How to use and apply information from technical literature, codes of practice and industry standards.
• The limitations of standard tests and measurements relevant to their field of activity.

You'll also enjoy spending time with our friendly NDT team and interacting with different parts of our business to expand your skills and knowledge.
