Run the shop that keeps NDT equipment working in the field.

MFE Inspection Solutions' Houston-area repair and calibration center services the instruments that inspectors depend on. That includes ultrasonic flaw detectors and thickness gauges, eddy current and ACFM instruments, MFL scanners, hardness testers, holiday/porosity testers and infrared cameras. Every unit that goes back into our rental fleet or out to a customer passes through this team.

- Write and maintain calibration procedures for new and existing equipment to manufacturer specifications and applicable industry requirements

- Manage measurement traceability, uncertainty, acceptance criteria and calibration records

Improve the operation

- Track shop metrics such as turnaround time, rework and customer complaints, and report trends and fixes to management

- Work with rentals, sales, supply chain and customer service to resolve quality issues

- Work with procurement to evaluate supplier and parts quality

- Train technicians and staff on procedures and equipment

What you bring

Required

- 5+ years in NDT equipment repair, calibration, inspection or related technical service

- Hands-on experience with several of the instruments listed above
