Nuclear NDT Level II Field Specialist
Picture a crisp fall outage at a nuclear plant: you arrive on site, rally the crew, and begin a full day of ultrasonic and visual examinations. You interpret indications against ASME Section XI requirements, document every finding with precision, and brief the customer on status and next steps. Back at our Waltz Mill facility in Madison, PA, you refine inspection procedures, craft examination plans, and prepare for the next mobilization. This is the rhythm of the Nuclear NDT Level II Field Specialist—hands-on, customer-facing, and quality-driven.
