Job description

Kennedy Jenks is seeking a Construction Inspector (TRC On-Call) with pipeline experience in California to support water and wastewater infrastructure projects with a focus on underground utilities, pipeline installation, field quality observation, and construction documentation.

In this role, you’ll observe contractor work, document progress, support testing and commissioning, and coordinate with construction managers, resident engineers, contractors, clients, and internal teams.

What You’ll Do

As a Construction Inspector, you'll work at the intersection of construction observation, quality assurance, field documentation, and project coordination to support the successful delivery of water and wastewater infrastructure projects.

  • Inspect field work: Conduct inspections to ensure contractor work aligns with plans, specifications, and quality standards.
  • Document progress: Prepare daily reports, including written documentation and photo logs.
  • Support testing and reviews: Assist with material testing, special inspections, contractor submittal review, and as-built drawing review.
  • Monitor requirements: Make sure work complies to public, regulatory, and permitting agency requirements, including SWPPP and safety practices.
  • Coordinate in the field: Support pipeline testing, flushing, commissioning, and startup activities; participate in progress meetings; interact with clients; and work under the direct supervision of the Construction Manager, Resident Engineer, or Lead Inspector.

What Makes This Role Different

  • Field insight that protects quality: Your documentation helps identify issues early, support timely decisions, and reduce rework, delays, or disputed field conditions.
  • Direct impact on essential infrastructure: Your work supports water and wastewater systems that serve communities and protect public health.
  • Bridge between plans and construction: You help project teams connect design intent, field conditions, contractor work, and client expectations.

What You Bring

  • Strong communication: Strong written and verbal communication skills.
  • Work style: Ability to work independently and within a team.
  • Field coordination: Comfort working with contractors, clients, inspectors, testing firms, and internal project teams.

Qualifications

  • Education and experience: Technical school certificate or degree preferred, or equivalent experience; 3 years of water or wastewater infrastructure experience required, with pipeline or underground utility inspection experience strongly preferred.
  • Technical and software skills: Familiarity with construction blueprints, drawings, specifications, applicable codes, Microsoft Office, inspection tools, and reporting systems.
  • Work environment: Fieldwork includes exposure to varying weather conditions, uneven terrain, construction noise, traffic, equipment, and potential hazardous materials.
  • Safety requirements: Strict adherence to safety protocols is required, including use of required personal protective equipment and project-specific safety practices.

This role requires full-time presence on project sites and in the office as needed. KJ offers relocation support if needed.

Hourly Pay Rate: Anticipated at $50.00/hour and may vary based on experience, qualifications, certifications, and location. Many of our California public works projects are subject to prevailing wage, often exceeding base pay.

Benefits summary: Medical, dental, vision, life and disability insurance; a health savings account; a 401(k); bonus programs; tuition reimbursement; employee ownership opportunity; professional registration support; business travel assistance; competitive paid time off and holidays; an employee assistance program; and additional programs that support your wellbeing and professional growth.
