Civil Inspector

Overview

The Civil Inspector is responsible for overseeing and inspecting the civil engineering aspects of pipeline construction projects. This includes monitoring and ensuring compliance with project specifications, regulations, and industry standards related to earthwork, grading, erosion control, and site restoration.

• Review and interpret project plans, specifications, and drawings related to civil engineering components of pipeline construction.
• Conduct on-site inspections to monitor and ensure compliance with approved plans, specifications, and applicable codes and regulations.
• Inspect and verify the quality of earthwork activities, including excavation, trenching, grading, and back filling operations.
• Monitor and ensure proper implementation of erosion and sediment control measures, such as silt fences, detention ponds, and slope stabilization techniques.
• Inspect and verify the installation and functionality of temporary and permanent drainage systems, culverts, and water crossings.
• Coordinate with survey crews to ensure accurate staking and layout of pipeline right-of-way and associated civil infrastructure.
• Conduct material testing and sample collection as required, such as soil compaction tests, concrete strength tests, and aggregate gradation analyses.
• Maintain detailed daily inspection reports, documenting work progress, deficiencies, and any corrective actions taken.
• Communicate and coordinate with project managers, contractors, and other inspectors to address issues and ensure project compliance.
• Participate in pre-construction meetings, progress meetings, and final inspections.
• Ensure proper site restoration and revegetation activities are carried out in accordance with project requirements and environmental regulations.

• Minimum of 3-5 years of experience in civil engineering inspection or construction, preferably with pipeline projects.
• In-depth knowledge of civil engineering principles, construction methods, and materials testing procedures.
• Familiarity with applicable codes, regulations, and industry standards related to pipeline construction (e.g., OSHA, DOT, FERC, API).
• Strong attention to detail and ability to read and interpret construction plans and specifications.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills for report writing and coordination with project teams.
• Proficiency in using inspection equipment and tools, such as surveying instruments and material testing equipment.
• Valid driver's license and willingness to travel to project sites as required.
• Relevant certifications or licenses (e.g., NICET, ACI, NACE) preferred.
