** Brief Summary of This Position:
** This Individual Contributor role is primarily responsible for leading identification and resolution efforts as they pertain to Utility product field issues. It requires a broad understanding of the Utility product, how it is manufactured, including inspection requirements for each product feature, and a basic understanding of how the product is to be installed and function. Additionally, this position requires proficiency in three areas of NDT:
Visual (VT), Magnetic Particle (MT), and Ultrasonic (UT).This position will routinely interact with the customer, working directly with the customer’s representatives, including third-party services who represent the customer (e.g., inspection services, construction management, engineering services, etc.). As such, this position will be required to demonstrate professionalism at all times and the ability to work in environments that, at times, may be somewhat adversarial.

To assess and resolve field problems, this position will also work directly with multiple departments within the Valmont Utility group, such as manufacturing sites, customer service managers, project managers, project administrators, account managers, etc.

As with many of the roles within the QA (Quality Assurance) organization, this position may be called upon to support other events, such as internal product and process audits, customer pre-production manufacturing evaluations, technical sales assistance, etc.
