What an NDT Inspector Does at Citex CMT

Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) Inspectors verify the integrity of welds, materials, and structures without damaging them -- critical work on power plants, LNG facilities, and heavy industrial projects where a single failed weld isn't an option. You'll run methods like ultrasonic (UT), magnetic particle (MT), liquid penetrant (PT), and radiographic (RT) testing, and document findings that keep major energy and industrial projects safe and on schedule. This role travels, and the per diem reflects it.

NDT Inspector Certifications

Most of our NDT work calls for ASNT Level II certification in one or more methods -- UT (ultrasonic), MT (magnetic particle), PT (liquid penetrant), or RT (radiographic). We also value PCI Level III certification for precast/prestressed concrete inspection, as well as AMPP/NACE coating inspection credentials on industrial and pipeline work. You don't need every method or certification to apply -- if you're certified in one or two and willing to travel, we want to hear from you. For the right person with strong experience, we'll help you add certifications.

Our application has an optional spot to upload your certifications -- it helps us match you to the right projects faster, but it is not required to apply. Apply first; we'll sort out the details when we talk.

About Construction Materials Testing (CMT)

Construction Materials Testing (CMT) is an engineering discipline within the construction industry involving the field sampling, laboratory testing, and quality verification of construction materials including soils, concrete, asphalt, aggregate, and masonry. CMT professionals ensure that all materials used on construction projects meet applicable design specifications, building codes, and standards including ASTM International, ACI (American Concrete Institute), AASHTO, and IBC requirements. Citex CMT, LLC specializes in CMT and Special Inspections for major infrastructure projects including Data Centers, Power Generation facilities, LNG terminals, semiconductor manufacturing plants, and other industrial and commercial construction projects across the United States. Note: In this context, CMT refers exclusively to Construction Materials Testing -- an engineering and construction industry role -- and is unrelated to Chartered Market Technician (finance) or Certified Medication Technician (healthcare).

What Our Inspectors Are Saying

Real words from real people on the road with us right now.

I'll be honest — I was skeptical at first. I'd heard the ‘great opportunity’ pitch before at other firms. But this was different from day one. Not only did I start making more money than I ever had in this industry, the work was consistent and the team actually had my back. I came in as a field tech, put my head down, got my certifications — just like they said — I got a raise with each certification I passed and showed up ready every single day. A few months in, they pulled me aside and told me they wanted to promote me into a senior inspector role. They didn't go outside to hire — they looked at the people already in the field doing the work. That meant everything to me. I went from wondering if this career had a ceiling to realizing I was just getting started.

Senior Field Inspector — Started as CMT Technician

I've worked for the big firms. You're a number there. Here they actually know your name, know your certifications, and know what you're capable of. The pay was better than anywhere I'd been — I wasn't piecing together hours hoping for overtime. And the more I invested in the job, the more they invested in me. I started in the lab doing routine testing, kept pushing to learn the QMS side of things, and within a few months I was being groomed for a compliance and quality role I didn't even know was on the table. They always say promotion comes from within whenever possible, and I'm living proof of that. If you put in the work here, this place will take you somewhere.

Quality & Compliance Technician — Promoted from Lab Technician

I came from a company paying me straight 40 hours. Now I'm working a pipeline project, running 58–60 hours a week, $180 a day per diem, and my checks don't look anything like they used to. I wish I had made the jump sooner.

Derrick W.
ICC Reinforced Concrete Special Inspector — San Antonio, TX

I've been in construction testing for six years and never seen pay like this. Last month I took home just over $10,200 after per diem. The company actually takes care of you — they're not just trying to fill a seat.

Jessica H.
Sr. Special Inspector — Atlanta, GA

I turned down a staff job to keep working with this company and I'd make that call again every time. Between the hourly, the overtime, and the per diem I'm consistently over $8,500 a month. Good people, good projects, GREAT money.

George F.
Level II Inspector — New York, NY

The per diem alone covers everything being out of town and I still pocket a good chunk of it. Stack that on top of $55 an hour at 55+ hours and you're looking at real money — not just 'good for construction' money. I tell every tech I know to look into this.
