Training materials will be provided to obtain required certifications. The role may involve project engineering duties on smaller construction projects. Inspectors independently conduct complex inspections of roadway and structure construction processes and materials, or conduct moderately complex inspections and supervise routine inspections. They document contract work, take field measurements of pay items, perform calculations, and may participate in project planning, schedule reviews, and close-out activities. The position requires a high school diploma or GED and at least three years of progressive transportation technician experience with a State Highway Agency as an employee or consultant, or an equivalent combination of training and directly related experience. Required certifications and GDOT Construction Engineering Inspection Training test passing scores must be obtained within six months of beginning work on a GDOT project. Certifications from other agencies or states may possibly be substituted. The expected salary is $52,000–$73,000 per year ($25–$35 per hour), with actual compensation depending on factors including experience, skills, education, certifications, licenses, and geographic location.
