Mechanic II (NDT Technician

Select how often (in days) to receive an alert:

The purpose of this position is to test and determine if the parts that will be used in the rebuild process meet HEPI standards as defined in work order and ISO process instructions.

• Maintain safe, secure, and healthy wet brake environment by adhering to organization standards and policies, and to legal regulations; alerting others regarding potential concerns
• Move parts by operating overhead cranes, scissor lifts, carts, and dollies
• Ensure precision equipment is maintained by following scheduled maintenance plan, keeping tools clean, calibrated and placed in a secure location
• Thoroughly clean and test magnaflux testing unit to assure accuracy in test procedures each day prior to conducting testing to ensure tests performed are accurate
• Record magnaflux test results on process control form each day
• Physically inspect repaired vendor (RV) and used parts from outside vendors
• Perform the wet magnetic or dry magnetic product testing (using the wet mag or dry mag procedure) to ensure the part will meet recommended guidelines
• Perform wet magnetic testing by placing the product in a stationary wet magnetic machine and ensuring that tests are performed in various stages and in at least two directions (this includes aligning the head and tail stock, inserting a central conductor pipe, and re-testing the part with the coil)
• Perform flux density test on parts by reading a gauss gauge and assuring that density meets HEPI standards (at least 30)
• Perform crack detection by spraying solution over the part using a continuous application method and then viewing the part under a black light to detect surface & subsurface cracks
• Perform the demagnetization process which removes the magnetic field and testing with field indicator to ensure part is demagnetized to max of 3 gauss
• Perform dry magnetic testing as needed following similar processes and standards as in the wet magnetic testing except while using a hand held yolk to perform the testing
• Record test result findings for each individual part tested on the NDT portion of the work order paperwork
• Communicate test failures competently with Department Leaders and Team Leaders
• Send finished tested part to the appropriate department to be used for the rebuild process
