NDT Technician Trainee

Job Title: Field Associate, Lighting Inspection

EXO Inc.

has been protecting public infrastructure across the U.S.

since 2009.

Without consistent maintenance and quality assurance, critical assets face a growing risk of failure over time.

EXO delivers engineering, inspection, and remediation services for lighting poles, transmission towers, and other infrastructure exposed to ongoing wear from usage, aging, and environmental conditions.

With deep expertise in vertical infrastructure, EXO builds on years of engineering design and fabrication experience across utilities, telecom, transportation, and retail sectors.

This foundation supports a comprehensive inspection and asset management approach that addresses both new installations and aging structures requiring immediate attention.

Recognizing that full replacement is often impractical due to cost and safety constraints, EXO developed its “Ex-Tend” approach to manage assets throughout their entire life cycle.

From initial quality assurance to ongoing inspection and targeted repairs, this method is designed to extend service life and improve reliability.

Supported by data-driven insights, EXO helps clients monitor asset conditions and make informed, strategic decisions.
