About the Positions
We’re seeking Construction Inspectors of various skill levels to support large, complex transit capital programs, including light rail and bus corridors, stations, tunnels, elevated guideway, trackwork, and rail systems, delivered through both traditional and alternative delivery methods. These roles verify that installed work conforms to the contract documents, submittals, requests for information, and applicable codes and design standards, and produce the daily field record that the project relies on when quantities, changes, and claims are settled. We hire across the core inspection disciplines, including civil and structural, building, electrical, mechanical, utility, and roofing inspection, as well as safety and security representatives.
This post is for future roles and not for a specific opportunity that is available right now. We accept applications and conduct interviews in advance of upcoming hiring needs.

Prepare accurate and legible daily inspection reports covering contractor labor, equipment, materials, quantities installed, weather, delays, safety observations, and work locations.
Identify nonconforming work and report it to the resident engineer and the inspection quality assurance lead at the moment it is observed, and document it in the daily report.
Verify materials on delivery against submittals, certifications, mix designs, and delivery tickets, and confirm proper storage and handling.
Witness and document field sampling and materials testing, and track results, deficiencies, and retests through closure.
Measure and record pay quantities supporting progress payments, and photograph and log field conditions to support quantity verification and change review.
Monitor contractor compliance with approved traffic control, work zone safety, environmental, and erosion and sediment control requirements.
Coordinate daily inspection coverage with the resident engineer and the owner’s construction management staff against the approved staffing plan.
Support survey verification, punch list development, substantial completion walkthroughs, and closeout documentation.
Coordinate with contractor personnel, design teams, utility owners, and third-party stakeholders during active construction operations.

Experience preparing daily inspection reports, quantity records, and nonconformance documentation on publicly funded projects.
