Shape product safety from the inside out

Step onto the production floor as a key member of our NDE/NDT operation. Your day begins by confirming that daily, weekly, and monthly checklists are completed, ensuring equipment and areas are ready for precise inspections.

Throughout the shift, you’ll keep preventive maintenance on track, run demagnetization operations, perform routine laboratory checks, and record accurate production and inventory data.
