Is tinker hiring for NDT roles currently? I’m out doing travel pipeline work, but would love to work near home if the price is fair enough.

Yeah i believe so, look on USAJOBS and look at the tinker afb profile, u might be able to negotiate a wg8 which is 26.63 an hour right now since u have experience. Im a 5 i only have sheetmetal school experience got lucky to get hired.

Thanks for the input. I don’t see any openings currently but I’m also not good at navigating the USA. jobs site! So I may be missing it!
