For what it's worth, I heard a couple of the guys mention ITT in Louisiana the other day.

As far as pay rates, I think the valve testing company I worked for was paying $20/hour range to the valve techs, $30/hour range to the I&C techs, and $40/hour range to the analysts...but that's just from conversations I overheard - I did not ask anyone else what they made. Also, I got the impression that the company was probably low-ball and there were other testing companies paying up to a third more.

Good luck.
