Overview

Construction Inspectors inspect, observe, and document construction and maintenance projects; performing tests on soils and materials. Work is performed under the supervision of a Project Engineer. In most cases, an inspector’s day-to-day direct supervisor may be a client’s direct employee. Construction Inspectors have many categories that range from an entry-level inspector to a senior inspector. All Inspectors are required to travel and be available to work in any part of the State, subject to change of assignments, as work requires. We work when the contractor works. Inspectors are required to have a valid driver’s license and reliable transportation. Inspectors must also be able to work night shift when required.

Responsibilities
  • Perform field inspections of construction and maintenance projects, including existing roadways, structures and facilities.
  • Conduct and observe tests on soils, asphalt, concrete, aggregates, bituminous products, metal products and industrial coatings, and document results.

    • Flagger Certification
    • Certification for Erosion and Sediment Control Inspection
    • Stormwater Management (Inspector) Certification
    • Intermediate Work Zone Traffic Control
    • GRIT (Guardrail Certification)
  • Obtain the Nuclear Gauge Safety Training and the 10‑Hour OSHA Safety Training.
  • Fill out the Inspector’s Daily Report (IDR) which memorializes all labor, equipment, and material used on the project each day.
  • Maintain daily progress photos of the work.
  • Fill out Force Account records when there is an unresolved change, but the changed work still must be performed.
  • Maintain a sketchbook that contains a variety of construction documentation.
  • Participate in the reconciliation of pay quantities on progress payments submitted by the Contractor.
  • Attend all meetings, as needed and appropriate.
  • When appropriate, participate in change‑order negotiations.
  • When appropriate, participate in CPM schedule meetings.
Qualifications
