Practitioner Profile

Bradley Brandt is the Lead NDT Specialist at Roush Yates Engines, which manufactures and supports engines for NASCAR and other racing organizations.

Before working in NDT, Bradley was a machinist by trade but decided to move on and finish getting an education. After researching programs offered by Central Piedmont Community College, NDT piqued his interest since he’s a hands-on type of person.

Although he says it was difficult to transition from a machinist to an NDT technician, he was excited to challenge himself and move to a different industry. His hard work paid off when, in 2017, an engine that had been inspected by Brandt and his team went on to win the Daytona 500.
