Who We’re Looking For
We are seeking an accomplished, motivated, and versatile Subject Matter Expert (SME) in NDT-E to join our team. This is a pivotal, high-impact position supporting a multidisciplinary group of engineers, analysts, and technicians who perform nondestructive testing and evaluation (NDT-E) on critical infrastructure—bridges, dams, pavements, and other civil structures.
The ideal candidate is a highly experienced engineer with deep expertise in NDT-E methods, especially related to structural systems, corrosion-resistant coatings, and thermal barrier technologies. You will play a key role in defining technical strategy, ensuring quality and performance, mentoring field staff, and supporting business development and growth initiatives.
What You’ll Do
- Lead the development of technical strategies, QA/QC protocols, and field methodologies for NDT-E projects.
- Oversee project data reviews and collaborate with analysis teams to guide decision-making, timelines, and deliverables.
- Provide hands-on mentorship and leadership to junior engineers and field crews, ensuring adherence to state-of-the-art equipment, techniques, and in-house certifications.
- Conduct technical research on emerging technologies, tools, and methods in NDT-E for civil infrastructure.
- Represent BDI at conferences, trade shows, and client meetings—supporting business development efforts and elevating BDI’s brand as a leader in NDT-E services.
- Collaborate across departments to align project schedules, technical analysis, and financial goals with client and company expectations.
- Support strategic initiatives including sales plan execution and the development of future service offerings.
What You Bring
- Advanced expertise in acoustic, ultrasonic, electromagnetic, and electrochemical NDT-E techniques, including data processing, analysis, and reporting.
- Deep understanding of bridge, dam, and heavy civil infrastructure systems and the interpretation of structural analysis data.
- Extensive field experience in NDT-E with a strong track record of producing high-quality technical reports.
- Strong communication skills—able to convey complex information clearly to technical and non-technical audiences.
- Familiarity with structural instrumentation, monitoring systems, and various NDT tools and methods such as ground-penetrating radar and ultrasonic shear wave tomography (MIRA).
- A results-oriented, adaptable leader with proven project management and team guidance skills.
You Are
- Recognized in the industry as a trusted expert and thought leader in NDT-E.
- Motivated by solving complex technical problems and mentoring the next generation of engineers.
- Organized, detail-oriented, and process-driven, with the ability to manage multiple priorities.
- Collaborative, flexible, and ready to grow with a fast-moving, innovative organization.
- Comfortable with public speaking and publishing in technical forums.
Qualifications
- 10+ years of experience in NDT-E and/or structural instrumentation.
- Master’s degree in Civil, Mechanical, Metallurgical, or Materials Engineering.
- Technical expertise in concrete and steel NDT-E applications using ultrasonics, GPR, thermography, and electrochemical techniques.
- Experience with material sampling and testing (e.g., concrete coring, chloride testing, petrography).
- Willing to travel 25–50% for project support, client meetings, and industry events.
- Strong written, verbal, and visual communication skills.
- PE license preferred.
- Experience with managing engineering service projects or civil construction efforts is desirable.
Preferred Certifications
- ASNT Level II in UT, PAUT, MT, and/or PT
- Certified Welding Inspector (CWI) with AWS D1.5 experience
- FHWA-NHI Certifications (130055, 130078)
