ICC Commercial Electrical Inspector E2

ICC Commercial Electrical Inspector (E2)

Project Type: Water Treatment Facility Renovation

Employment Type: Full-Time

We are seeking an experienced ICC Commercial Electrical Inspector (E2) to support the renovation and upgrade of an active water treatment facility on Staten Island, NY.

The Electrical Inspector will be responsible for performing field inspections of electrical construction activities to verify compliance with approved contract drawings, specifications, applicable electrical codes, approved submittals, and project requirements. The role will include inspection of new and modified electrical systems associated with facility rehabilitation, including power distribution, lighting, grounding, conduit and cable systems, equipment connections, control systems, and other electrical infrastructure.

The successful candidate will work closely with the Construction Management team, contractors, engineers, and facility representatives to identify deficiencies, document construction progress, and help ensure that electrical work is completed safely, accurately, and in accordance with contract requirements.

Success in this position means providing consistent, technically accurate, and well-documented field inspection throughout the project. The Electrical Inspector will proactively identify non-conforming work, communicate issues clearly to the appropriate project personnel, and maintain complete inspection records that support quality control, payment verification, testing, commissioning, and project closeout.

The successful candidate will develop a strong understanding of the project drawings and specifications, maintain effective working relationships with contractors and project stakeholders, and help prevent installation issues from progressing into costly rework.

The ICC Commercial Electrical Inspector will serve as a key member of the Construction Management / Resident Engineering team and will provide direct field oversight of electrical construction activities.

The position will coordinate with Resident Engineers, Construction Managers, discipline engineers, contractors, subcontractors, facility operations personnel, and other inspectors to ensure electrical work is properly sequenced and coordinated with civil, structural, mechanical, instrumentation, and process-related construction.

Because the work is being performed as part of the renovation of an active water treatment facility, the inspector will also be expected to understand the additional coordination, safety, operational, environmental, and constructability challenges associated with construction in an operating process facility.
