What are the responsibilities and job description for the Certified Welding Inspector position at United Technical Inc?
CERTIFIED WELDING INSPECTOR (CWI)
United Technical Inc. | Full-Time
You know welding. You know quality. So do we.
United Technical Inc. is looking for an experienced AWS Certified Welding Inspector (CWI) to join our team full-time.
This isn't a position where you'll be stuck inspecting the same welds every day.
Our inspectors support customers across a wide range of industries, providing critical welding inspection and quality assurance services where and when our customers need us.
You'll have the opportunity to work with different customers, welding processes, materials, codes, and inspection challenges while representing a company that takes technical excellence seriously.
WE KNOW INSPECTION. WE EXPECT YOU TO KNOW IT, TOO.
We're not looking for someone who simply has a CWI certification on paper.
We're looking for an inspector who understands welding, knows the applicable codes, can identify problems, and has the confidence and technical knowledge to make sound inspection decisions.
Successful candidates must:
- Hold a current AWS Certified Welding Inspector (CWI) certification
- Have hands-on experience performing visual welding inspections
- Demonstrate a strong understanding of welding processes, weld discontinuities, and acceptance criteria
- Read and interpret welding drawings, specifications, and applicable codes
- Have working knowledge of AWS D1.1, ASME Section IX, and other applicable welding standards
- Understand Welding Procedure Specifications (WPS), Procedure Qualification Records (PQR), and welder performance qualifications
- Verify weld quality, dimensional requirements, and compliance with customer specifications
- Produce accurate, complete, and professional inspection reports
- Be comfortable working directly with customers, welders, engineers, and quality personnel
- Work independently while representing United Technical professionally at customer locations
- Take ownership of inspection decisions and stand behind their work
- Understand that shortcuts and "close enough" aren't how we operate
HAVE ADDITIONAL NDT CERTIFICATIONS? EVEN BETTER.
We're especially interested in CWIs who bring additional nondestructive testing experience and qualifications to the table.
Level II certifications in any of the following methods are highly desirable:
- MT – Magnetic Particle Testing
- PT – Liquid Penetrant Testing
- UT – Ultrasonic Testing
- RT – Radiographic Testing
Additional NDT certifications are not required, but they're a definite advantage.
If you have them, be prepared to provide verifiable certification and training records and demonstrate your technical competency.
We value inspectors who bring multiple skills, understand how inspection methods complement one another, and can confidently support a variety of customer needs.
ITAR COMPLIANCE REQUIREMENT
United Technical Inc. supports customers and projects subject to the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR).
This position requires eligibility to access ITAR-controlled technical data and materials.
Candidates must qualify as a U.S. person as defined under ITAR (22 CFR § 120.62), which generally includes U.S. citizens, lawful permanent residents, and certain protected individuals.
Employment is contingent upon verification of applicable ITAR eligibility requirements.
WHY UNITED TECHNICAL?
Because good inspectors deserve to work with people who understand what they do.
At United Technical, we know our business and we know inspection. We respect technical ability, experience, accountability, and people who take pride in their craft.
We expect a lot from our team — because our customers expect a lot from us.
In return, you'll become part of a company where your skills matter, your expertise is valued, and you'll have the opportunity to support customers and industries that depend on quality workmanship and reliable inspection.
