Employees may also be responsible for preparing reports, managing databases, or supporting team projects. While these roles are generally performed in an office or remote setting, they require consistency, attention to detail, and effective time management. You’ll often collaborate with colleagues or clients, so strong communication and interpersonal skills are also essential. These positions are great for individuals seeking steady work without frequent manual labor or physical strain.

Familiarity with office productivity software, teleconferencing tools, or customer relationship management (CRM) systems may be necessary, depending on the specific occupation. Organizational skills, problem-solving abilities, and a collaborative mindset help individuals excel in these roles.

As a trusted leader in materials testing, inspection, and engineering services, we help ensure the safety and strength of everything from highways and bridges to commercial buildings and energy projects. With a dynamic team of professionals across multiple regions, CMT empowers individuals to grow, innovate, and make a tangible impact on the world around them. Join us-and be part of something built to last.

  • FLSA Exemption: Non-Exempt
  • Schedule: Hours may vary
What You'll Be Doing
  • Perform inspections of structural concrete, masonry, steel, and welding operations
  • Verify conformance with applicable codes, specifications, and project requirements, including IBC and local Arizona jurisdictional requirements
  • Read and interpret construction drawings, plans, and specifications
  • Document and communicate inspection findings clearly and accurately
  • Coordinate with Project Managers, Contractors, Structural Engineers, and Technicians
  • Maintain accurate daily logs, datasheets, and timecards
  • Conduct soil density and concrete testing as needed
  • Maintain a professional demeanor, appearance, and equipment
  • Follow all safety procedures and client protocols, including site-specific and ADOT (Arizona Department of Transportation) requirements when applicable
  • Climb ladders, scaffolding, and platforms (up to 100') as required for inspection access
What You Have
  • High school diploma or equivalent
  • 2+ years of special inspection experience in structural materials
  • Strong working knowledge of codes, standards, and testing procedures

  • Ability to perform UTs (Ultrasonic Testing) for welds
  • Experience working on ADOT, municipal, or large-scale commercial projects in Arizona
Required / Preferred Certifications (Arizona Applicable)

    • Structural Masonry
    • Reinforced Concrete
    • Structural Steel and Bolting
