NECIT Careers

Build something that matters.

Build it with NECIT.

We are always looking for talented, driven people who share our commitment to engineering integrity.

NECIT exists at the intersection of technical excellence and real-world impact. The work we do, from certifying welders, inspecting supply chains, to testing for hidden defects, underpins the safety and quality of infrastructure that millions of people depend on. That means the people who do this work matter enormously.

If you are an inspector, a welding examiner, a co-ordinator, or an administrator who wants to be part of a company that takes its responsibilities seriously and that invests in the people who carry them, we want to hear from you.

Frequently asked

What career opportunities are available for welding and engineering professionals at NECIT?

As a global authority in welding certification, vendor inspection, and non-destructive testing (NDT), NECIT offers a diverse range of engineering inspection careers. We actively recruit both permanent staff and a global network of independent contractors for roles including NDT technicians, welding inspectors, QA/QC coordinators, and technical consultants. Our team works on high-profile infrastructure projects spanning critical sectors such as renewables, oil and gas, rail, marine, and aerospace.

Frequently asked

What specific certifications do I need to join the NECIT inspection team?

To maintain our status as a leading UKAS ISO 17020 accredited inspection body, we look for highly skilled professionals with industry-recognised credentials. For NDT technician positions, we typically require certifications to ISO 9712 or PCN standards (such as Ultrasonic Testing (UT) Level 2, Magnetic Particle Testing, or Penetrant Testing). For welding inspection roles, credentials like CSWIP 3.1/3.2 or AWS CWI are highly valued, alongside experience inspecting structural steel, fabrication, or pressure equipment.

Frequently asked

How does NECIT support career development and continuing education for its technical staff?

Professional development and technical excellence are at the core of our progressive work culture. NECIT actively invests in upskilling our team by providing the time, advanced equipment, and funding for higher qualifications. Whether you are aiming to achieve your PCN PAUT Level 2 (Phased Array Ultrasonic Testing), transition to a PCN Level 3 advisory role, or master weld procedure qualification standards, we give you the technical backing required to progress your career.

Frequently asked

What advanced NDT technologies and equipment will I have access to?

At NECIT, we utilise state-of-the-art equipment to perform complex advanced non-destructive examination techniques. Our technicians regularly use advanced ultrasonic probes capable of independent element pulsing for Phased Array Ultrasonic Testing (PAUT) and complex ultrasonic weld scanning on challenging materials like aluminium and high-strength alloys. We ensure our team has access to the best technical tools and software—including our proprietary INSPEKTA-GADGET platform—to deliver unmatched precision.

Frequently asked

How does NECIT’s UKAS ISO 17020 accreditation impact my day-to-day work?

Operating within a UKAS ISO 17020 accredited environment means you will work under a highly structured quality management system. You will execute your inspections according to approved procedures, rigid technical specifications, and strict Risk Assessments and Method Statements (RAMS). This focus on compliance ensures your work meets top-tier quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC) standards, providing clear, accurate, and traceable inspection reports that clients worldwide trust.

Frequently asked

Does NECIT offer opportunities for global travel or remote vendor inspection work?

Yes. Because NECIT provides global independent inspection services, our projects span multiple continents. We offer excellent opportunities for vendor inspection experts and field engineers who thrive on visiting international client sites and manufacturing facilities. At the same time, we offer localised UK staff roles that include a company-issued vehicle, allowing for a balanced approach to site-based work and technical reporting.

Frequently asked

What is NECIT’s approach to the safety and well-being of its field engineers?

Safety is our absolute priority. We operate strictly in accordance with robust site safety requirements and approved RAMS. Unlike companies that prioritise speed over safety, NECIT’s cultural ethos is firmly rooted in technical integrity: quality over speed saves time overall. We ensure every inspector has the appropriate tools, personal protective equipment (PPE), and necessary authorisation to stop a job if safety or compliance is compromised.

Frequently asked

Can you explain NECIT’s involvement in welder qualification testing and weld procedure development?

NECIT is a premier provider of weld procedure and welder qualification testing. Our engineering professionals oversee the witness testing, evaluation, and documentation required for compliance with ISO, ASME, and EN client specifications. Joining our team means you will directly influence manufacturing quality by validating that weld procedures meet strict international compliance standards before fabrication ever begins.

Frequently asked
