Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) Technician

About TPI 

We are a leading wind-blade manufacturer and the only independent wind blade manufacturer with a global footprint.

We are enabling many of the industry’s leading wind turbine original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to outsource the manufacturing of a larger portion of their wind blades, thus expanding their global wind blade capacity.

We manufacture advanced composite products to our customers’ exact specifications in facilities designed, built, and strategically located either near our customers’ target markets or in low-cost, world-class locations, to minimize total delivered cost.

In addition, we provide global field service maintenance and repairs for wind turbine OEMs and asset owners by leveraging our global footprint and approximately 12,000 capable associates.

We are building a growing global team of experienced technicians to provide best-in-class wind blade service capabilities.   

 About the Role 

NDT Technicians tests the safety of composite wind blades using x-ray, ultrasound, fiber optic or related equipment. 

Essential Duties and Responsibilities


* Interpret or evaluate test results in accordance with applicable codes, standards, specifications, or procedures. 


* Interpret the results of all methods of non-destructive testing (NDT) such as acoustic emission, electromagnetic, leak, liquid penetrant, magnetic particle, neutron radiographic, radiographic, thermal or infrared, ultrasonic, vibration analysis, and visual testing. 


* Select, calibrate, or operate equipment used in the non-destructive testing (NDT) of products or materials. 


* Examine structures or vehicles such as aircraft, trains, nuclear reactors, bridges, dams, and pipelines using non-destructive testing (NDT) techniques. 


* Make radiographic images to detect flaws in objects while leaving objects intact. 


* Identify defects in solid materials using ultrasonic testing techniques. 


* Prepare reports on non-destructive testing (NDT) results. 


* Conduct liquid penetrant tests to locate surface cracks by coating objects with fluorescent dyes, cleaning excess penetrant, and applying developer. 


* Document non-destructive testing (NDT) methods, processes, or results. 


* Produce images of objects on film using radiographic techniques. 


* Visually examine materials, structures, or components using tools and equipment such as endoscopes, closed circuit television systems, and fiber optics for signs of corrosion, metal fatigue, cracks, or other flaws. 


* Map the presence of imperfections within objects using sonic measurements. 


* Identify defects in concrete or other building materials using thermal or infrared testing. 


* Develop or use new non-destructive testing (NDT) methods such as acoustic emission testing, leak testing, and thermal or infrared testing. 


* Evaluate material properties using radio astronomy, voltage and amperage measurement, or rheometric ...
