As a senior pipeline integrity technician, you will be responsible for conducting direct examinations on interstate pipelines using various NDT and corrosion inspection methods. Daily tasks can include corrosion mapping, ultrasonic thickness testing, magnetic particle testing, pipe to soils, soil resistivity, GPS, shearwave and straightbeam ultrasound, phased array ultrasound, and automated ultrasonics. The ability to lead and manage projects independently and work directly with engineers, inspectors and project managers is critical to the success of this position.

We are looking for loyal confident individuals who are career oriented. This position requires impeccable communication skills, solid understanding and working knowledge of abnormal operating conditions and pipeline safety, excellent computer skills and a high attention to detail.

You will be required to perform bellhole examinations of existing pipeline coatings and condition, document coating anomalies, perform testing pertaining to Cathodic Protection of pipelines, perform visual inspections of pipeline, measure and document metal loss type defects, perform MT evaluations, evaluate and document linear indications, conduct integrity calculations, and document and validate repairs. Complete and detailed documentation and reporting are as equally important as the inspection itself.

We offer valuable training and mentoring, competitive pay, travel per diem, fully paid medical, vision, life insurance, and dental coverage for technician (family can be added at additional cost), and 10 days paid vacation after 1 year of employment. Candidates residing on the West Coast preferred but not required.
