Construction Inspector - Transportation

Overview

The ISL Calgary Transportation Construction team is seeking up to three Transportation Civil Engineering Technologists.

This position is an excellent fit for individuals seeking a well-rounded lifestyle—devoting themselves to site inspection and fieldwork during the primary construction season, generally running from May through November, and then taking a well-earned break over the winter months. Returning from your break will offer you the opportunity to contribute to other project deliverables, which may include: cost estimation, bid preparation, drafting (AutoCAD C3D), and focus in on your continued professional development, ensuring you continue to grow in your role and are prepared for the next challenge.

By accumulating banked time during the busier summer months, team members enjoy the flexibility to rest, recharge, and further their skills in advance of the next season.

ISL is comprised of just over 600 employees comprised of award-winning engineers, technologists, planners, landscape architects, scientists, and much more that work together to deliver infrastructure projects that minimize environmental impacts and maximize benefits to the community.
