The Scope of an NDT Engineer: Why They're Not Getting Job Offers

We have noticed very frequently NDT Engineer is looking for a job opportunity in NDT and are disappointed to see that there is no vacancy and no advertisement for NDT jobs. Then obviously the next thought would be why have I done this course, which is having no opportunities? scope.

Some Example Where NDT Engineer Find Job

Let me tell you that NDT is a big field covering almost all the sectors, which includes metal and where high quality is needed. the recent years NDT is also used by civil companies for concrete testing. NDT is required by companies which are involved in structural engineering companies who although aren’t focused so much on quality but still it has become a client requirement. Even in Hyderabad.

some construction companies who are involved in structural engineering have approached us for testing as more n more metal structures are coming up. One example can be the IIT campus coming up in Hyderabad, which is all metal structure and no concrete and cement are used in the construction.

So I request all to look at NDT as a supportive course that will help you get jobs in departments like quality control, production etc. which may indirectly require NDT knowledge and certification but the main position you hold is of a mechanical engineer.

If you are searching a for job only on NDT then you will get NDT technician jobs which as an engineer may not suit you and the jobs like NDT inspector, coordinator etc. are less available. So please don’t forget that you are a mechanical engineer who has additional NDT certification and then search for a job. You will be surprised to know so many opportunities are available to start with.

Reason Why NDT Engineers Not Getting Jobs?

For example, Kirloskar manufactures pumps and they are using NDT all the time. Another example can be L&T, which is manufacturing Valves, and use NDT for all the valves. So when you see these names you may not even know that they may be using NDT but they are using and they may not even give the requirement as an NDT job.. they may simply say QC engineer needed, production engineer needed or simply as a mechanical engineer.

Some Tips For NDT Technician before Apply Jobs

ndt engineer salary in india

It is better to be prepared and not have an opportunity than not be prepared and have an opportunity. Read about various manufacturing and production processes. Be very thorough in the subject and whatever you are adding to the resume.

Check the NDT requirement and try to get information about the company and the things company is involved in so that you can perform better in the interview.

Search for websites and apply and call directly to the companies even if they don’t give the requirement. Always attend more interviews even if you get rejected. As it will increase your awareness about the questions asked and will also raise your confidence.

Improve your communication skills and be well-groomed. Always believe there are plenty of opportunities in the market. If you are an NDT fresher you may start working without any pay for a while to get exposure and later you can demand a higher salary as NDT engineer/Technician.

Conclusion:

Lastly, keep learning all the time. There is so much free information and material available online. Rather than seeking opportunities, you become the most deserving candidate and no employer can reject you.
