  • 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

  • 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.

If you feel you meet the requirements but may be outside of the pay range, please apply anyway and let’s talk through it. 

How we elevate your game
Joining Wood Rodgers comes with perks to support you in your personal and professional journey.
  • A Unique Culture: An engineering firm that doesn’t feel like one. We are inventors that ask, “why not?” with leadership that empowers employees to grow, challenge convention, and develop creative solutions. We throw big parties, get random days off, and constantly are shown how the company reinvests in our employees rather than corporate bottom-lines.  These all help build a great culture, but at the core are great people; people who want to learn, teach, help, and collaborate.
  • Teamwork: experience what being a part of the Wood Rodgers family feels like. Be inspired by your leaders, be encouraged and cheered on by your teammates to live a big life, personally and professionally while you work with us.
