The role requires flexibility, as job assignments may change last minute, and there is potential for 7-day workweeks and overtime during peak seasons.
Key Responsibilities:
- Assist in Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) tasks such as radiography, visual inspections, particulate testing, pen testing, and bagging.
- Travel daily to various locations in Michigan, from Jackson to cities like Traverse City, Bay City, and other sites across the Lower Peninsula.
- Ensure work is completed in compliance with safety standards, particularly when working with radioactive materials.
- Work alongside a team of technicians on-site, often traveling and working in remote locations.
- Perform tasks in diverse work environments, which could include working at heights (e.G., scaffolding, wind turbines), confined spaces, or industrial plants.
- Assist in calibration duties when not on NDT assignments, especially during slow periods (e.G., January-March).
- Climb ladders, scaffolding, and perform tasks at elevated heights when required.
Ideal Candidate:
- High school diploma (or equivalent) required.
- Strong math skills (basic algebra) are essential.
- Previous technical or manual labor experience is a plus (e.G., factory work, farm work, calibration, or quality control).
- Willingness to learn and adapt to a fast-paced, field-based environment.
- Comfortable with unpredictable schedules, including early mornings, late nights, and potential 7-day workweeks during peak periods.

- Ability to travel frequently and sometimes be away from home for extended periods (up to two weeks).
- Must have a strong work ethic and the ability to work independently and in a team setting.

- Drug Test: Candidate must pass a pre-employment drug test.
- DMV Check: Must have a valid driver’s license, reliable transportation, and be comfortable driving for work purposes. There may be instances where you will be required to drive client vehicles.
- Background Check: A thorough check of education and employment history will be conducted.
- Fingerprinting: As this role involves working with radioactive materials, fingerprinting is required after hire for an enhanced background check.
Physical Demands:
- Must be comfortable working at heights, climbing scaffolding, ladders, and potentially wind turbines.
- Physical endurance to work in varied environmental conditions (extreme heat/cold, outdoor, industrial settings).
- Ability to lift and carry equipment as needed, sometimes in challenging conditions.
Preferred Experience:
- Experience in quality control, calibration, or technical labor is highly beneficial.
- Any prior radioactive material handling experience is a plus.
- Familiarity with micrometers, layout equipment, or any manufacturing or industrial experience would be advantageous.
