Aerospace Welder (NDT Certification)

Core Responsibilities

• Testing Operations: Perform NDT methods—such as Ultrasonic (UT), Magnetic Particle (MT), Dye Penetrant (PT), or Radiographic (RT) testing—to detect internal and external weld flaws (e.g., cracks, porosity, or lack of fusion).
• Equipment Management: Calibrate, maintain, and troubleshoot specialized inspection and testing equipment to ensure accuracy and reliability.
• Code Compliance: Review blueprints, welding symbols, and Welding Procedure Specifications (WPS) to verify that welding operations align with codes set by the American Welding Society or other regulatory bodies.
• Reporting: Document findings, generate formal inspection reports, and identify non-conforming work requiring repair or remediation.
• Field & Lab Work: Collaborate with project managers, structural engineers, and welders across construction sites, manufacturing plants, shipyards, or refineries.

Key Qualifications

• Welding Proficiency: Background in structural welding processes like GMAW, GTAW, SMAW, or FCAW.
• NDT Certifications: ASNT (American Society for Nondestructive Testing) Level II or III certifications in specific testing disciplines (VT, MT, PT, UT, RT).
• Inspection Credentials: Often requires or highly values an AWS Certified Welding Inspector (CWI) credential.
• Blueprint Reading: Strong ability to interpret engineering drawings, welding symbols, and technical specifications.
