About this role
Loenbro's Quality Control Technician role is a field-based inspection position within their industrial construction division, centered in Ellendale, North Dakota but requiring travel throughout the intermountain region and potentially beyond. You'll perform mechanical and structural inspections—bolt-up, torque, piping, and pressure testing—while documenting findings, managing project quality assurance plans, and coordinating with NDE personnel and engineering teams. The work involves hands-on site inspections, review of technical documentation, and creation of inspection and test plans, with an expectation that you'll mentor other inspectors and adapt to shifting project demands.
This role demands solid technical credentials: documented NDT training per ASNT-SNT-TC-1A standards, familiarity with ASTM specifications and materials, and proficiency reading construction drawings. An AWS CWI certification or ASNT VT II qualification is preferred but not required. You'll need strong organizational skills, Excel and Word competency, and the ability to communicate clearly across departments. The work is physically demanding—you'll spend most time outdoors in manufacturing and refining environments, climbing scaffolding and ladders, working in confined spaces, and handling equipment up to 50 pounds regularly. Exposure to temperature extremes, noise, and limited visibility is routine.
Loenbro offers a competitive salary, medical/dental/vision coverage, a 401(k) match, PTO, and professional development opportunities. The hybrid arrangement and travel requirements mean flexibility paired with field commitment. This suits someone with quality control inspection experience who thrives in dynamic, safety-conscious industrial settings and is willing to relocate or travel as projects demand.
