* As you become an expert in Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) you’ll learn the cutting-edge methods – including ultrasonics, radiography, and eddy current testing – we use to detect cracks and other imperfections in manufactured components.
* It’s a vital role, and you’ll be comprehensively trained in how to inspect safety-critical components, materials and equipment destined for nuclear reactors and submarines within the UK’s fleet.
