       Apply working knowledge of applicable building codes, accessibility standards, structural requirements, architectural requirements, fire/life safety provisions, project specifications, and approved permit conditions.

       Confirm inspection results are documented clearly, accurately, and consistently with the approved workflow.

       Support code-based clarification, field issue identification, and escalation of life-safety, structural, accessibility, or authority-sensitive concerns.

       Coordinate with plan review, design, engineering, and authority representatives when interpretation or formal disposition is required.

       Document nonconforming, incomplete, unsafe, or not-ready work through approved inspection reports, deficiency logs, correction items, or other assigned reporting tools.

       Track open CSA deficiencies, responsible-party responses, corrective actions, reinspection status, and aging items.

       Provide routine updates to program leadership regarding inspection volume, failed inspections, not-ready work, recurring issues, open deficiencies, reinspection needs, and schedule-critical risks.

       Support turnover readiness, closeout records, final inspection tracking, and completion of required CSA inspection documentation.

       Follow all company, client, site, and regulatory safety requirements.

       Do not perform inspections in unsafe or inaccessible conditions; document and escalate unsafe or not-ready conditions through the approved process.

       Coordinate with other discipline leads to resolve cross-discipline conflicts, embedded work issues, access constraints, and inspection sequencing concerns.

       Promote a collaborative, field-based quality culture focused on readiness, compliance, documentation integrity, and timely issue resolution.

       Minimum 8 years of experience in civil, structural, architectural, building inspection, construction quality, code compliance, field engineering, construction supervision, or related construction inspection roles.
