Employers
A number of industries offer a variety of opportunities for industrial radiographers. These include the aerospace, construction, chemical, petrochemical, shipbuilding, steel and foundry, and utility and power services industries. Graduates will also find work in nuclear materials handling and processing facilities, nondestructive testing firms, welding shops, and radiopharmaceutical companies.
Starting Out
Students who are about to complete an associate's degree in radiological technology usually find work through their college's career services office. Graduates from strong programs often have several attractive offers from which to choose. Whatever preparatory training the beginner brings to the job, study and training will probably continue under the employer's direction. Beginning industrial radiographers usually work with more experienced technicians or engineers.
