Build A Career That Keeps The City Running
Not everyone gets to say their job helps power New York City, but our technicians do. At Tri-State NDT, we inspect the systems that keep the city's buildings and infrastructure safe, cooled, and functioning — hospitals, high-rises, industrial plants, rails, and tanks. Behind every hum of electricity or blast of cold air, there's a team making sure the systems work before they fail.
You don't need experience. You don't need a college degree. You just need to be reliable, detail-oriented, follow direction well, ready to work with your hands, and looking for something better than another warehouse shift.
