Jason Taylor (Treasurer)

Jason Taylor (Treasurer)

I have recently moved to SGS based at Immingham . I have a primary responsibility for the provision of technical support to the NDT Operations Department.

I was a Technical Manager for Oceaneering , I have worked in NDT since 1987 in fields as diverse as aerospace to ships surveys, pressure vessels to structural steelwork, new builds to in-service inspections.

During my NDT career I have received help and support from many people in the industry, so I feel its time to give something back and help to support the people who work in NDT.
I look sad because I live in the North East.
