  • 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.
