Wood Rodgers, a leading engineering consulting firm, is seeking a Mining Inspector to join our Geotechnical team. The full time Mining Inspector is responsible for ensuring mining and mine‑related construction activities comply with approved plans, specifications, regulatory requirements, and industry best practices. This role will support active mine sites across rural Nevada and the western United States and provide inspection support in Western Nevada between assignments. The ideal candidate has hands‑on mining inspection experience, strong regulatory knowledge, and lining system experience (heap leach pads, tailings facilities, ponds, or similar systems).  This position includes per diem for qualifying project assignments.   
This is a staffed, hourly, non-exempt position.

What you will be doing
  • Conduct inspections of mining operations, construction activities, and environmental controls to verify compliance.
  • Monitor earthwork, grading, subgrade preparation and material placement associated with mine facilities and structures.
  • Inspect and document installation of liner systems including geomembranes, geosynthetics, clay liners, and protective layers including seaming, testing, and repairs
  • Maintain detailed inspection records, daily reports, photographs, and non‑conformance documentation. 
  • Communicate inspection findings clearly to project managers, engineers, contractors, and regulatory personnel. 
  • Verify corrective actions are completed in accordance with project requirements. 
  • Support inspections or related duties in other projects when not assigned to rural project sites. 
  • Adhere to all site safety procedures, MSHA requirements, and company policies at all times. 
  • Assist with audits, regulatory inspections, and project closeout documentation as needed.

Qualifications & Skills
  • Experience as a Mining Inspector, Mining Technician, Construction Inspector, or related role. 
  • Working knowledge of mining construction practices and Environmental compliance and quality control.
  • Familiarity with MSHA regulations and mine‑site safety protocols.
  • Ability to read and interpret construction drawings, specifications, and permit conditions. 
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills. 
  • Ability to work independently in remote, rural locations. 
  • Liner installation inspection experience preferred (heap leach, tailings, ponds, or similar). 
  • Willingness to travel and work variable schedules, including extended field assignments. 
  • Valid driver’s license and ability to operate a company or personal vehicle on rugged terrain.
A note on hourly pay ranges:
The range does not reflect geographic variations and may fluctuate above or below the stated amount. Offers will be based on several factors, including experience, education, skills, licensure, certifications, training, and location.

How we elevate your game

  • A Unique Culture: An engineering firm that doesn’t feel like one.
