Job description

QES Engineering Inspection is seeking a wastewater construction inspector to oversee and verify the quality of work performed during the construction of new or existing wastewater infrastructure, such as cleaning or lining sewer lines and manholes, pump stations, and treatment plants. The ideal candidate will ensure compliance with project plans, local regulations, and safety standards by conducting on-site inspections, documenting findings daily, and communicating with the owner and contractor(s) to address any discrepancies. 
Responsibilities:
  • Regularly visit construction sites to visually inspect excavation work, pipe installation, joint connections, backfilling, trench shoring, and other aspects of the project, verifying that construction adheres to approved plans and specifications. 
  • Check the quality, quantity, and type of materials used in the construction, including pipes, concrete, fittings, and other components, ensuring they meet project requirements under each pay item in the contract. 
  • Maintain detailed daily inspection reports, documenting observations, measurements, non-compliance issues, and corrective actions taken, including photographs and relevant data. 
  • May perform or oversee field tests, such as concrete strength tests, pipe joint integrity checks, water infiltration tests, and pressure tests to ensure proper construction quality. 
  • Communicate effectively with contractors, engineers, project managers, and other stakeholders to address concerns, clarify specifications, and resolve issues on-site. 
  • Ensure construction activities adhere to local permits, regulations, and environmental protection standards. 
  • Monitor construction sites for safety hazards and ensure compliance with safety protocols, including proper personal protective equipment usage. 
Requirements:
  • Thorough understanding of wastewater collection and treatment systems, pipe installation methods, construction materials, and relevant industry standards including NASSCO and OSHA standards and operating procedures. 
  • Ability to interpret construction drawings, grading plans, and technical specifications accurately. 
  • Familiarity with quality control procedures and inspection techniques. 
  • Prior experience in construction, preferably within the wastewater industry. 
  • Ability to identify potential problems and discrepancies during inspections. 
  • Excellent verbal and written communication to effectively convey information to contractors and project team members by means of a mobile device, or in person. 
  • Primarily outdoors on construction sites, often exposed to weather elements. 
  • May require working in confined spaces, trenches, on a barge in a body of water or along a body of water, and around heavy machinery.
