  • Applicable codes and standards documents such as ASME or ASTM references — read and locate relevant sections with direction from a senior technician.
  • Ultrasonic testing instruments — set up and power on according to manufacturer guidelines while being coached by an experienced NDT specialist.
  • Visual examination findings for obvious surface cracks, corrosion, or metal fatigue — record observations on standardized inspection forms at entry-level competency.
  • Basic inspection data and test readings — collect, label, and organize using spreadsheet software under supervision for entry-level documentation tasks.
  • Safety and procedural checklists for NDT site preparation — complete accurately and submit to a supervising technician before and after each inspection shift.
