Step into a high-impact temporary assignment where your NDT expertise directly safeguards quality and compliance for a leading aerospace environment in Switzerland. This is a hands-on role for a proven NDT Level 2 professional who can hit the ground running, bring their own equipment, and deliver fully documented, certifiable results to EN4179 standards.
About the Role:
In this role, you will perform NDT inspections using Eddy Current and Ultrasonic Testing methods to ensure structural integrity and conformity to stringent aerospace standards. You will be responsible for completing inspections independently, interpreting results, and issuing the necessary documentation (Form 1 and NDT reports) for task release. Your work will directly support safe, compliant operations and timely delivery of critical components.
Key Responsibilities:
Perform NDT inspections using Eddy Current Testing (ET) and Ultrasonic Testing (UT) in accordance with EN4179 and company procedures.
Set up, calibrate, and operate personal Eddy Current flaw detectors, HFEC probes, and Ultrasonic flaw detectors with appropriate transducers.
Interpret inspection results, identify indications, and assess their relevance against applicable standards and acceptance criteria.
Document inspection findings accurately and comprehensively, preparing formal NDT reports for each task.
Issue Form 1 upon successful completion of inspections, ensuring all required data and traceability information are correctly captured.
Coordinate with engineering, quality, and production teams to clarify inspection requirements and resolve findings.
Maintain clear records of equipment settings, calibration data, and inspection parameters for audit and traceability purposes.
Adhere to all safety, quality, and procedural requirements while working within a controlled aerospace environment.
Key Requirements:
Current NDT Level 2 certification in Eddy Current Testing (ET) and Ultrasonic Testing (UT) in accordance with EN4179.
Demonstrable experience performing ET and UT inspections in aerospace or similarly regulated industries.
Proven ability to independently plan, execute, and complete NDT tasks, including interpretation of complex indications.
Strong understanding of EN4179 and relevant aerospace NDT standards and procedures.
Ability to issue Form 1 and formal NDT reports, with high accuracy and attention to detail.
Competence in using and configuring Eddy Current and Ultrasonic flaw detection equipment, including HFEC probes and thickness measurement transducers.
Strong communication skills to liaise effectively with technical and quality stakeholders.
Ability to work autonomously, manage workload to deadlines, and adapt quickly in a temporary assignment context.
Desirable Skills:
Experience with additional NDT methods (e.g. PT, MT) in an aerospace environment.
Familiarity with aircraft structures, components, and typical defect mechanisms.
Prior experience working under EASA Part 145, Part 21, or equivalent regulatory frameworks.
Knowledge of digital reporting tools and NDT data management systems.
Working proficiency in German and/or French in addition to English.
Qualifications:
Recognised NDT Level 2 certification in Eddy Current Testing (ET) and Ultrasonic Testing (UT) to EN4179 (required).
Vocational or technical qualification in aerospace engineering, mechanical engineering, or a related discipline (preferred).
Additional NDT certifications to EN4179 or ISO 9712 in other methods (advantageous).
Evidence of recent NDT recertification and ongoing training aligned with EN4179 requirements.
If you are a certified NDT Level 2 professional ready to contribute immediately in a demanding aerospace setting, submit your profile and take on this focused, high-responsibility temporary role.
