What you would do
- Analyze radiographic, ultrasonic and magnetic/penetrant test results
- Apply ASME Section V and API codes to determine defect acceptability
- Document findings and recommendations in technical reports
- Collaborate with peers to resolve complex indications
- Contribute to protocol enhancements for AI training
Who they are looking for
- 8+ years interpreting NDT data in oil/gas or power sectors
- Active ASNT or ISO 9712 Level II/III certification
- Deep knowledge of ASME, API and AWS standards
- Strong written and verbal communication skills
- Self‑directed remote work capability
Skills this role asks for
What the interview is likely to probe
1.Radiographic interpretation
They need to confirm you can accurately read X‑ray images and spot critical flaws, a core part of ensuring safety and compliance.
Expect something like: “A client provides a 30‑inch radiograph of a pressure vessel weld showing a potential lack of fusion; how would you assess it against ASME V criteria and what would you report?”
2.Ultrasonic defect sizing
Sizing defects correctly impacts repair decisions and cost; interviewers will gauge your precision with UT/PAUT data.
Expect something like: “You receive a UT scan indicating a 2 mm planar flaw in a pipeline girth weld; explain your sizing method and acceptance decision per API 1104.”
3.Code‑based disposition
Applying code acceptance limits is essential for consistent, defensible decisions; they’ll test your rule‑application logic.
Expect something like: “A weld shows a 0.5 mm crack at a heat‑affected zone; walk through the decision process using ASME Section V and API 653 to accept or reject it.”
4.Report writing clarity
Clear documentation ensures downstream engineers act correctly; they’ll assess your ability to convey technical details succinctly.
Expect something like: “Draft a brief report excerpt summarizing findings from an MT test on a valve body, highlighting the defect type, size, and recommended action.”
5.Remote collaboration
Effective asynchronous teamwork prevents misinterpretations; interviewers will explore how you coordinate with peers remotely.
Expect something like: “A teammate questions your interpretation of a thermography image showing a hot spot on a flange; describe how you would address the concern and reach consensus.”
Exercise you may get
You may be given a set of radiographic and ultrasonic images of a weld and asked to produce a compliance report with defect disposition within a tight deadline.
How to prepare
- Review ASME Section V and API 510/653 acceptance criteria tables
- Practice interpreting sample RT and UT/PAUT images and sizing defects
- Write concise report snippets for common NDT findings
- Set up a remote collaboration workflow (e.g., shared docs, version control)
