Job Description

Our client provides comprehensive non-destructive testing (NDT) services tailored to the nuclear industry. Drawing on decades of experience in the industry and in NDT techniques, they carry out NDT on any critical component, often applying qualified solutions developed inhouse that clearly outperform other commonly used methods. They tailor their NDT services to the specific needs of the NPP operator. Complex and challenging missions are undertaken as a multidisciplinary effort involving experts in materials, chemistry, vibrations, and mechanics. As Non Destructive Testing Engineer, you could be working on development and application projects such as: - NDT inspection method for last-stage steam turbine blades using a combination of eddy current and ultrasound phased array to identify cracks in the roots of some turbine blades without dismantling them, significantly reducing inspection time. - Magnetic inspection method for compressor and steam turbine blades and vanes using high-power magnetic fields in a coil configuration, allowing multiple blades to be inspected simultaneously. - Developing robotized NDT solutions to inspect parts of a nuclear installation that are deemed inaccessible to humans. - Developing and deploy NDT methods specifically to inspect additively manufactured parts. This procedure often takes place in conjunction with collaborative research initiatives. - Develop and deploy NDT methods specifically to inspect concrete in nuclear power installations, mostly in close conjunction with our materials and chemistry experts. - Using simulations to reduce costs.
