NDT Technicians

NDT is a rewarding career path that allows for continued growth and greater pay as you accumulate class time hours and work time experience in each discipline. In addition to adding to your career growth laterally by qualifying in different NDT disciplines you can also grow vertically through your certification level within a particular NDT discipline (Trainee, Level I, Level II and Level III).

Inspectors

Certification as an API inspector of pressure equipment in the oil, gas, petrochemical and power industries also requires you to obtain a combination of theoretical classroom training and on the job inter-disciplinary work time experience.

The staff at First Energy Support Solutions have found us great pre-qualified candidates. Many of these candidates have been hired and have developed into advanced senior technician’s and placed in leadership positions. I highly recommend to candidates that they talk to FESS when it comes to starting a career in the nondestructive testing field.
Recruiting, hiring, and pre-training entry level technicians for the wind industry is costly, especially when a candidate doesn’t work out. First Energy Support Solutions knows our business inside and out and knows how to select and prepare entry level personnel for the wind turbine industry. Candidates for hire from FESS are passionate and well prepared when they are assigned to our projects, leaving us more time to concentrate on growing our business and developing our permanent employees.
