Position Summary

The Inspector performs technical engineering work in the inspection of construction projects and backflow devices associated with the Waterworks system. Keeps detailed records and reports of project status and testing requirements. Communicates effectively with Federal, State, County, City, Waterworks Board, and staff.

Work is evaluated by observation, reports, and efficiency of performing assigned tasks.
