Deputy Chief Examiner - NDT
Sheffield, Yorkshire (with travel to examination locations)

If you are an NDT Level 3 qualified professional with an understanding of PCN and ICorr requirements, this is an exceptional opportunity to join a pioneer in mechanical engineering.

About Us

Part of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE), IMechE Argyll Ruane (IAR) is the leading global provider of non-destructive testing and inspection services.

Based in our multi-million pound Engineering Training Centre in Sheffield, we offer a range of inspection and non-destructive testing training courses, examinations and consultancy services.

We are now looking for a Deputy Chief Examiner to join our BINDT authorised qualifying body.

The Role

As the Deputy Chief Examiner, you will ensure that we conform to BINDT and PCN requirements, as well as the requirements of other certification schemes, such as ASNT and ICorr.

Supporting the Chief Examiner, you facilitate the examination process, including acting as an invigilator, marking exams and liaising with our approved examination centre training partners.

You will also:

- Allocate and control examination papers to appropriate markers in line with scheme requirements
- Manage and continually review PCN and ICorr exam sample stock
- Support and take part in audit QA processes associated with CP08 and CP09
- Occasionally act as an NDT Trainer and deliver courses you are qualified to teach in
- When required, undertake national and potentially international travel
- Provide cover for the Chief Examiner when required

About You

To join us as a Deputy Chief Examiner, you will need:

- An NDT Level 3 qualification in the methods required to teach and mark examinations (preferably PCN)
- Knowledge of the ICorr examinations requirements
- An understanding of the documentation relating to PCN requirements for an AQB and ICorr requirements
- A track record of working both independently with strong accountability and within a team to deliver outputs to plan
- A high level of IT literacy, including the ability to use PC and associated networks and systems (e.g. MS Office) to find, manipulate and distribute information
- A full, valid driving licence

Ideally, you will have extensive experience in various non-destructive testing methods, but this is not essential. Experience of marking examination papers would also be beneficial.

Other organisations may call this role NDT Examiner, Non-Destructive Testing Examiner, Examiner, NDT Invigilator, ICorr Examiner, NDT Trainer, or NDT Assessor and Examiner.

The Benefits

- Highly competitive salary
- Company car or car allowance
- A minimum of 26 days’ holiday plus Bank Holidays and your birthday off
