Description

At McFarland Johnson (MJ), we're more than infrastructure consultants - we are a 100% employee-owned firm with 80 years of commitment to delivering innovative planning, engineering design, environmental services, technology, and construction solutions that make a lasting impact in the communities we serve.

We're looking for an experienced Senior Construction Inspector to join our Aviation Division for seasonal construction assignments in the Capital Region of New York State.

The successful candidate will serve as MJ's primary on-site representative during construction of airport infrastructure improvement projects, providing construction observation, inspection, documentation, and day-to-day field coordination with Airport personnel, Contractors, and MJ's Project Managers.

Working under the direction of MJ's Project Manager, the Senior Construction Inspector will independently monitor construction activities, document daily progress, verify completed work quantities, coordinate with materials testing personnel, and help ensure construction is performed in accordance with approved plans, specifications, and applicable Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) requirements.

This position will primarily support FAA-funded airport improvement projects throughout NYSDOT Region 1, including the greater Albany Capital Region and surrounding areas. Projects may include runway and taxiway rehabilitation, airfield lighting and signage, grading, drainage improvements, utility installations, and other airport infrastructure improvements.

The ideal candidate is a dependable, self-motivated construction professional with strong field inspection experience, sound technical judgment, demonstrated computer proficiency, and the ability to work independently while maintaining effective communication with MJ's Project Managers.
