- Use basic hand tools in the field to assist with inspections and access to components where appropriate.
- Prepare concise, accurate inspection reports that summarize findings, include supporting photos and sketches, and communicate issues clearly to stakeholders.
- Participate in ongoing training to learn and further develop inspection techniques, including nondestructive testing and related methods as needed.

Work Environment
You work primarily in industrial settings across a wide variety of facilities, including automotive manufacturing plants, steel mills, aerospace sites, nuclear facilities, and other types of industrial operations. Most work occurs within a few hours of the primary site region, but frequent overnight travel to multiple surrounding states is required. You typically work in teams of two to three people, collaborating closely in the field. Conditions can range from clean, high-tech environments to dirty or heavy industrial areas, and you may be exposed to noise, dust, and other typical industrial conditions.
