Construction Inspection & Contract Administration

Employee-owned, RS&H is one of the nation’s leading architecture, engineering, and consulting firms, with associates who work hard every day to create tomorrow together. We offer an exceptional journey from start to future. Our integrated teams translate experience into insight, turn challenges into opportunities, and build relationships that are as strong as the buildings and infrastructure we deliver together. We attribute our success to our unwavering commitment to our core values: integrity, accountability, curiosity, and teamwork.

While RS&H was founded in 1941, we have been providing construction management services as one of our primary business practices since 1984. RS&H’s Transportation-Construction Management Practice serves numerous state departments of transportation, mobility/transportation authorities, turnpike/toll authorities, rail/port authorities, municipal/county governments, and private clients throughout the United States. Our Construction Engineering and Inspections (CEI) teams as well as our Construction Management teams are industry leading experts who provide a full range of construction engineering, program management, specialized testing, and inspection services from the preconstruction phase through maintenance and operations.

By joining our team, you too can provide unique expertise in the full life cycle of transportation delivery, and lead the evolution of transportation.

RS&H is seeking a Bridge Inspector to join our growing Bridge Inspection & Preservation team.

If you enjoy being in the field, seeing new places, and taking on different inspection challenges, this role offers the opportunity to work on a wide variety of structures and inspection programs throughout the United States.

One assignment might involve supporting a routine bridge inspection crew, while the next could include a complex structure, ancillary structures, transit infrastructure, or specialized access using UBITs, aerial lifts, boats, climbing systems, or UAS. You'll work alongside experienced inspectors, team leaders, and engineers while continuing to expand your technical and specialized inspection skills.

We're looking for someone who is ready to take ownership of their portion of a field assignment - safely access the structure, identify and document deficiencies, and contribute to high-quality inspection deliverables.

What You'll Do:

• Support a Qualified Team Leader with routine and in-depth inspections of in-service bridges, culverts, and ancillary structures.
• Participate in field inspections under the direction of a team leader.
• Identify, measure, photograph, and document structural deficiencies and changes in condition through field notes and photographs.
• Assist with report preparation including bridge inspection reports, bridge scoping reports, and other related documentation.
• Work with the Team Leader to ensure field activities are completed in a safe manner.
• Support bridge scoping, structural assessments, and repair and preservation evaluations between field assignments.
• Perform all other duties as assigned.

Depending on the assignment, inspection teams may utilize UBITs, aerial lifts, ladders, boats, climbing and fall-protection systems, rope access, UAS/drones, and other specialized access methods.

Travel & Project Variety:

• This position supports inspection programs throughout the United States, and travel is an important part of the role. Assignments may range from several days to more than a week and can include both urban and remote locations.
• Our teams work on a variety of structure types and inspection programs, giving inspectors the opportunity to gain experience across different clients, environments, access methods, and geographic regions rather than being limited to a single bridge inventory.
• Candidates should be comfortable traveling by vehicle and commercial air and working outdoors in varying weather and site conditions.

What We're Looking For:

We're looking for candidates with a minimum of 4 years of bridge, structural, or construction inspection experience who are ready to take on moderately complex field assignments and continue developing technically.

Strong candidates will have:

• Applicable FHWA/NHI bridge inspection training.
• Experience supporting bridge inspections in the field.
• Working knowledge of bridge components, deterioration, structural…
