2d•Onsite

About The Position

With required ACI and ICC certifications, you will perform a wide range of field inspection and testing services at active project sites—playing a critical role in building safe, high-quality structures from the earthworks up. Core responsibilities include reinforcing steel inspection, concrete placement and sampling, pre-stressed and post-tensioned concrete inspections, structural steel bolting and welding inspections, and fireproofing inspections. Additionally, to provide continuous, year-round job site coverage, you will perform soils field representative duties when structural inspection scope is light. This includes operating a nuclear density gauge for in-place compaction and moisture testing during site earthworks, grading, utility backfill, and street construction. With additional ICC, ACI, AWS, city, or county certifications, you’ll have opportunities to expand your expertise into additional inspection disciplines such as structural masonry, wood framing and nailing, SWPPP, and non-destructive testing. You’ll use company-provided Surface/Tablet technology to document inspections, soil testing, sampling, and daily field results, keeping you connected and efficient in the field. We are looking for motivated team players who communicate clearly, take pride in their work, and are driven to exceed client expectations!
