DIRECT HIRE

Defense Shipbuilding | Protect What Matters

Hampton, VA (On-site)
1st Shift: 8:00 AM – 4:00 PM
$30–$38/hr (based on experience + shift differential)

Build the Fleet. Safeguard the Mission.

Kelly® is hiring a  certified NDT Level II Technician to support critical defense shipbuilding programs in Hampton, VA. This is more than inspection—it’s precision work that directly supports the integrity and safety of naval vessels.

If you take pride in accuracy, accountability, and technical excellence, this is your chance to step into a role where your work truly matters.

What You’ll Do

• Perform  Visual (VT), Penetrant (PT), and Magnetic Particle (MT) inspections
• Interpret and  disposition inspection results per NAVSEA, ASNT, and customer standards
• Set up, calibrate, and verify NDT equipment
• Conduct inspections on  welds, ship structures, and fabricated assemblies
• Document results with full traceability and compliance
• Support audits, corrective actions, and quality investigations
• Assist in mentoring Level I technicians
• (If qualified) Interpret  radiographic film or digital images

What You Bring

• Current  NDT Level II certifications (VT, PT, MT) per ASNT SNT-TC-1A
• Proven ability to  interpret and disposition results independently
• Experience in  shipbuilding, welding, or industrial inspection environments
• Ability to read  engineering drawings, weld symbols, and specs
• Strong attention to detail and sound technical judgment

Bonus Points If You Have

• Experience or certification in  UT and/or RT
• Radiographic film interpretation experience
• Familiarity with  NAVSEA standards
• Multi-method certifications and desire to grow

Certification Requirements (Required for Hire)

This is a certified role. Candidates must provide:

• Current Level II certification documentation (by method)
• Verified experience hours
• Formal attestation of certification accuracy

Work Environment

• Shipyard/industrial setting (confined spaces & heights at times)
• PPE required
• Must meet vision and physical requirements

Why This Role Stands Out

• Work on  mission-critical defense programs
• Competitive pay with shift differential
• Opportunity to expand into  UT/RT and advanced methods
• Be part of a team where  quality = safety

Ready to bring precision to the front line of defense manufacturing?
