Position Summary

LTS is seeking a Level II NDT / Leak Testing Technician to support field and facility-based leak testing work. The preferred candidate will already be qualified and certified as a Level II technician in leak testing or related nondestructive testing methods. However, LTS will also consider the right candidate who has strong technical aptitude, relevant field or industrial experience, and is willing to work on-site in Merritt Island, Florida to complete LTS training, qualification, and certification requirements.

This role is suited for someone who can follow technical procedures, work safely, document work accurately, travel when required, and represent LTS professionally at customer sites.

Key Responsibilities

The Level II Technician will perform and support leak testing and related NDT work under approved procedures, customer requirements, and LTS quality expectations. Responsibilities may include:

• Perform leak testing and related NDT activities in accordance with approved procedures, work instructions, customer requirements, and applicable standards.
• Set up, operate, verify, and care for assigned test equipment, leak detectors, gauges, fixtures, tools, hoses, pumps, and materials.
• Review job scope, procedure requirements, equipment readiness, calibration status, safety expectations, and documentation needs before work begins.
• Perform field testing at customer sites and in LTS facilities as assigned.
• Accurately document work performed, test conditions, results, exceptions, delays, and required field evidence.
• Identify and escalate unclear instructions, unexpected indications, equipment concerns, procedure conflicts, customer-site changes, or safety issues.
• Maintain a stop-work mindset when conditions appear unsafe, noncompliant, technically unsound, or unclear.
• Support mobilization, demobilization, equipment return, job closeout, and lessons learned.
• Protect customer, technical, commercial, and proprietary information.
• Support trainee and Level I development as assigned, within the limits of qualification and company authority.

• Familiarity with ASNT SNT-TC-1A, ANSI/ASNT CP-189, ASME Section V, ASTM leak testing standards, NQA-1, ISO 9712, NAS 410, or customer-specific NDT requirements.
• Experience reading and following technical procedures, work instructions, specifications, drawings, and customer requirements.

• Prior customer-site field-service experience.
• Valid driver’s license and ability to meet company and customer travel requirements.

• Travel assignments that may include extended days, overtime, shift work, or variable schedules.

Candidate Development Path

LTS prefers candidates who are ready to perform as qualified Level II technicians. However, we are also willing to invest in the right candidate.

Independent field assignment will depend on verified readiness, qualification status, customer requirements, and management approval.
