Stays updated on industry best practices and regulatory requirements to uphold quality assurance protocols and mitigate risks effectively.
Convene and oversee non-destructive testing (NDT) inspections employing a range of methodologies to ensure comprehensive assessment and adherence to industry standards.
Ultrasonic Testing (UT) involves the use of high-frequency sound waves to detect flaws, measure material thickness, and evaluate structural integrity in various components. This non-destructive testing method requires proficiency in operating ultrasonic testing equipment, interpreting results, and preparing detailed reports. Candidates should possess certification from a recognized body, such as AUNT Level II or equivalent, along with a solid understanding of applicable codes and standards, including ASHE, AWS, or API. Strong analytical skills, meticulous attention to detail, and the ability to work independently in diverse environments are essential. Previous experience in industrial sectors like aerospace, oil and gas, or manufacturing is highly advantageous. Additionally, familiarity with advanced UT techniques, such as phased array or time-of-flight diffraction, may be required depending on the role.
Magnetic Particle Testing (MT) involves a nondestructive evaluation method used to detect surface and near-surface discontinuities in ferromagnetic materials, such as cracks, seams, or laps. This technique relies on the principle of magnetic flux leakage, where a magnetic field is induced in the test object, and finely divided ferromagnetic particles are applied to its surface. Any disruption in the magnetic field, caused by flaws, attracts the particles, forming visible indications that highlight defects. Qualified personnel must adhere to established industry standards, such as AUNT or ASTM, and possess certification in MT Level I, II, or III to perform and interpret test results accurately. Responsibilities include preparing test surfaces, applying magnetic particles, interpreting indications, documenting findings, and ensuring compliance with safety protocols and quality control measures.
Liquid Penetrant Testing (PT) involves examining materials for surface-breaking flaws by applying a penetrant liquid that seeps into discontinuities, followed by developer application to reveal the defects. This method detects cracks, porosity, laps, seams, and other imperfections not visible to the naked eye. Certified inspectors with Level II or Level III qualifications, per NAS410 or equivalent standards, are required to perform assessments, interpret results, and document findings. Responsibilities include preparing surfaces, applying penetrant and developer, conducting inspections under appropriate lighting conditions, and ensuring compliance with industry regulations. Proficiency in interpreting indications, maintaining test equipment, and adhering to safety protocols is essential.
Radiographic Testing (RT) involves the use of ionizing radiation to inspect materials and structures, allowing for internal examination without causing damage. This non-destructive testing method is essential for identifying internal flaws, such as cracks, voids, or inclusions, in a variety of industries, including aerospace, oil and gas, and manufacturing. Professionals in this field must possess a strong understanding of radiation safety protocols, imaging techniques, and applicable industry standards, such as those set by AUNT or ISO. Responsibilities include preparing equipment, positioning radiographic sources, interpreting radiographic images, and documenting inspection results with precision.
Visual Testing (VT) is a nondestructive examination method employed to evaluate surface flaws and discontinuities in materials, components, or assemblies through direct visual observation. This technique, which can be conducted with or without optical aids, serves to ensure compliance with specified acceptance criteria and industry standards. The process requires personnel to possess a keen eye for detail, a thorough understanding of relevant codes and specifications, and the ability to interpret visual indications accurately. VT is widely utilized across various industries, including manufacturing, construction, aerospace, and oil and gas, to verify the integrity and quality of welded joints, castings, and fabricated structures.
Performing Eddy Current Testing (ECT) involves utilizing electromagnetic principles to detect surface and near-surface discontinuities in conductive materials, ensuring structural integrity and compliance with industry standards. This non-destructive evaluation method requires proficiency in operating ECT equipment, interpreting signal responses, and maintaining meticulous inspection records to identify flaws such as cracks, corrosion, or material inconsistencies. Candidates must possess hands-on experience with ECT techniques, a thorough understanding of applicable codes and regulations, and the ability to generate detailed reports summarizing findings and recommendations for corrective actions. Additionally, adherence to safety protocols and quality assurance procedures is essential to mitigate risks and uphold testing accuracy.
Phased Array Ultrasonic Testing (PART) is implemented wherever applicable to ensure comprehensive structural integrity assessments. This advanced non-destructive testing method employs multiple ultrasonic elements and electronic scanning capabilities to deliver precise, high-resolution imaging of materials and welds. When conditions warrant, PART is utilized to identify flaws, measure material thickness, and evaluate the integrity of critical components with enhanced accuracy and efficiency compared to conventional ultrasonic testing techniques.
Time of Flight Diffraction (TOLD) is utilized where applicable as part of the inspection process.
Conduct comprehensive inspections of pressure vessels, piping systems, storage tanks, structural steel, welds, and process equipment to ensure compliance with safety and quality standards.
Assess inspection results to ascertain adherence to relevant acceptance criteria.
Identify any defects, discontinuities, corrosion, erosion, or structural anomalies present in the system.
Interested candidates are requested to adhere to the specified application method for submission.
Interested and qualified applicants are encouraged to submit their updated resume and cover letter via email to hr@dovaheights.com, ensuring the job title is included in the email subject line.
