Non-Destructive Technologies Technician Apprentice

Non-destructive testing (NDT) is an engineering science-based profession that requires competent Engineering Technicians to inspect materials, welds, components and plant to verify their integrity without rendering them unfit for further service. NDT is a useful background to many Asset Integrity Engineers and In-Service Inspectors for pressure and other systems.

Roles and responsibilities;

• Plan and coordinate non-destructive technology (NDT) work to meet stakeholders’ requirements.


• Test equipment, identifying faults and taking action as needed.


• Establish resources required to ensure customer and site compliance against defined acceptance criteria. For example, accept all cracks to a certain length, and in a particular position, then report other findings in a technical report.


• Receive, read, and interpret engineering data and documentation.


• Assess the condition of the asset, component or material for compliance with stakeholders’ requirements acceptance criteria. Identify and fix issues with the asset, component or material, re-testing as needed. Report any defects and irregularities.


• Collect NDT samples, record measurement points, monitoring intervals and operational state.


• Conduct NDT testing and checks using testing, measuring or monitoring equipment on materials and components.


• Inform stakeholders of work status and results. For example, internal and external customers.
