Leak Testing Specialists, Inc. is a specialized nondestructive testing, leak testing, training, and consulting company based in Merritt Island, Florida. LTS supports customers in technically demanding environments where qualification evidence, procedural compliance, safety, documentation integrity, and customer trust are critical.

LTS is growing its technician base, training capacity, field-readiness systems, and quality-driven execution model. We are looking for senior technical talent that can help us strengthen both field performance and the qualification pipeline for the next generation of LTS technicians.

LTS is seeking a Senior NDT / Leak Testing Technician - Level III to support advanced leak testing, technical oversight, training, procedure review, technician qualification, customer support, and field execution.

The preferred candidate will already be fully qualified and certified as a Level III in Leak Testing or a directly relevant NDT method.

This is not just a field technician role. This role supports technical authority, technician development, customer confidence, audit readiness, and scalable growth.

The Level III / Senior Technician may support:

• Advanced leak testing and NDT work at LTS facilities and customer sites.
• Technical review of procedures, job scope, test methods, acceptance criteria, equipment requirements, documentation requirements, and customer expectations.
• Qualification, mentoring, training, and technical evaluation of Level I and Level II technicians, when authorized.
• Review of OJT documentation, practical demonstrations, written examinations, continuity records, vision records where applicable, and qualification evidence under LTS procedures and applicable written practice.
• Troubleshooting of test setups, leak detector performance, fixtures, vacuum systems, pressure systems, instrumentation, field conditions, and procedure conflicts.
• Customer technical discussions, pre-job planning, readiness reviews, and post-job issue resolution.
• Field mobilization readiness reviews, including staffing qualifications, equipment status, procedure status, site access, PPE, safety, and reporting expectations.
• Technical input for quotes, bid reviews, scope clarification, and customer requirement interpretation.
• Development or improvement of training materials, work instructions, checklists, and lessons learned.
• Support of internal audits, customer audits, supplier reviews, corrective actions, and quality-system improvement.
• Stop-work escalation when conditions are unsafe, noncompliant, technically unsound, or not ready for execution.

The ideal candidate will have:

• Current Level III qualification or certification in Leak Testing or a closely related NDT method.
• ASNT Level III, employer-based Level III, or comparable senior NDT qualification experience.
• Experience administering or supporting technician qualification programs under ASNT SNT-TC-1A, ANSI/ASNT CP-189, NAS 410, ISO 9712, or customer-specific requirements, as applicable.
• Strong technical depth in leak testing methods such as helium mass spectrometer testing, pressure decay, pressure change measurement, mass flow testing, vacuum systems, bubble testing, vacuum box testing, ultrasonic leak location, or related methods.
• Experience preparing, reviewing, or approving NDT procedures, technique sheets, training content, examinations, OJT records, and qualification documentation.
• Experience supporting regulated or high-reliability sectors such as nuclear, aerospace, defense, space, semiconductor, pharmaceutical, power generation, fabrication, shipyard, or advanced industrial environments.
• Experience with audit readiness, corrective action, root cause review, technical documentation, objective evidence, calibration awareness, and records integrity.
• Strong customer-facing judgment and ability to communicate technical risk clearly.
• Ability to mentor early-career technicians without lowering standards.
