Foothills Steel Foundry Ltd. is looking for a Quality Control Inspector / NDT Technician to join our Calgary manufacturing facility.

This is a hands-on shop-floor quality position with a broader scope than a traditional NDT role. The successful candidate will be involved throughout the manufacturing process, including materials receiving and verification, NDT, welding and fabrication inspection, dimensional inspection, material traceability, documentation, and final product inspection.

Our work includes custom steel castings, fabricated components, machined parts and wear products for the mining, oil & gas and heavy-industrial sectors.

This is a permanent, primarily Calgary-based position with a regular Monday-to-Friday daytime schedule—not a rotational, shutdown or camp position.
