Construction inspectors
are involved in various phases of fieldwork; including surveying,
inspection, testing, and documentation. These tasks
ensure that projects are constructed according to the plans
and terms of construction contracts. Work is generally
performed outdoors in varying weather and traffic conditions.
Construction inspectors are responsible for concrete and asphalt
pavements, culverts and bridges, and staking and layout, as
well as traffic control equipment. Engineers may prepare
final plans, change orders and contractor payment estimates.
Moving into supervisory positions, construction inspectors
are involved in investigating job problems and managing construction
projects. Often, construction inspectors go on to become
area engineers and are given the responsibility for all operations
in a geographic area including construction, maintenance,
materials, and traffic.
