About the Role

We are seeking a qualified Asset Integrity Engineer to join our Perth team based in Bibra Lake. In this role you will design, coordinate, and perform on-site and laboratory testing activities encompassing NDT, metallurgical analysis, and materials evaluation to ensure asset integrity and compliance with applicable codes and standards. You will work within a multidisciplinary team, liaise directly with clients to define test scopes, contribute to technical reporting, and provide guidance to junior staff — making this an excellent opportunity for an engineer looking to grow within a NATA-accredited, nationally recognised organisation.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and coordinate on-site and laboratory testing activities in line with client and NATA requirements.

• Perform mechanical and metallurgical tests, including specimen preparation (cutting, machining, grinding, polishing, etching) in accordance with LMATS procedures and relevant standards.

• Select appropriate test methods, organise required equipment and record sheets, and define the limitations of each test method.

• Manage and maintain laboratory testing equipment, including calibration and regular maintenance.

• Conduct site inspections — including fabrication, third-party, and pressure vessel inspections — and liaise with clients to define test scopes.

• Analyse failure data, perform root cause investigations, and provide technical recommendations to clients.

• Interpret and evaluate test results against applicable codes, standards, and specifications.

• Prepare and submit detailed technical reports documenting testing outcomes; check reports for accuracy prior to submission.

• Supervise engineering and technical staff during project execution and guide trainees in performing tests in accordance with NATA requirements.

• Oversee quality control and ensure compliance with relevant standards, safety requirements, and LMATS quality management systems.

• Assist management with preparation of quotations, tenders, and contracts.

• Pursue continuous professional development and contribute to the continuous improvement of the organisation.

Skills

• Strong understanding of material properties and mechanical, metallurgical, and electronic principles.

• Knowledge of advanced and conventional NDT techniques — including PAUT, TOFD, ECA, LRUT, UT, MT, PT, and RT — and their application to asset integrity assessment.

• Proficiency in quality and safety management systems aligned with regulatory standards and NATA accreditation requirements.

• Ability to apply basic metallurgical principles to plan work activities and translate codes, standards, and specifications into practical work instructions.

• Familiarity with asset lifecycle management, corrosion mechanisms, root cause analysis, and fitness-for-purpose assessment.

• Capable of managing technical documentation, calibration records, and detailed engineering reports.

• Effective verbal and written communication skills for client liaison, team collaboration, and report preparation.

• Strong computer literacy and time management skills with an ability to maintain accuracy across multiple concurrent projects.

Experience

• Minimum 1 year of hands-on experience in Non-Destructive Testing, materials engineering, or a closely related field.

• Experience performing metallurgical and/or mechanical tests in a laboratory environment, preferably NATA-accredited.

• Experience in third-party inspection, fabrication inspection, or pressure vessel inspection.

• Demonstrated ability to interpret test results and produce accurate technical reports.

• Willingness to travel to client sites across regional and interstate locations as required.

Qualifications

• Relevant degree in Mechanical Engineering, Materials Engineering, Metallurgy, or a closely related discipline.

• AINDT certifications (UT, MT, RT, PT Level 2 ISO 9712) are highly regarded; candidates with the ability to obtain certification will also be considered.

• Manual C-Class driver's licence (essential for travel to client sites).
