Perform on-site inspections, pressure testing observations, and functional checks of mechanical systems. Coordinate with contractors, third-party inspectors, AUS Operations, Environmental teams, and City inspectors. Document inspection results, deficiencies, and corrective actions in detailed daily reports. Support Construction Managers with quantity verification for pay applications and project closeout.

Requirements And Experience

Minimum 10 years of construction inspection or construction experience, preferably including aviation facilities. Demonstrated experience with HVAC, plumbing, mechanical equipment, and fire protection systems. Strong knowledge of applicable codes and standards (IMC, IPC, SMACNA, NFPA). Ability to interpret contract documents, technical specifications, and testing reports. Ability to pass TSA background checks and obtain airport security credentials (CHRC and STA).

Structural Inspector (CWI / Steel)

The Structural QA Inspector will support the inspection of structural elements for airport terminal, airfield-adjacent, and campus-wide construction projects. This role emphasizes steel, concrete, foundations, and welding quality in compliance with contract documents and structural codes.

Focus Areas and Responsibilities

Inspect structural steel installation including bolting, welding, member alignment, and coatings. Observe reinforced concrete placement, consolidation, curing, rebar placement, formwork, and tolerances. Inspect post-tensioned and prestressed concrete operations including tendon installation, stressing, grouting, and elongation verification. Inspect foundations and deep foundations including drilled shafts, piles, anchors, and integrity testing. Coordinate and witness material testing such as concrete cylinders, weld testing, and nondestructive testing (UT, MT, PT). Document deficiencies, communicate findings, and track corrective actions to resolution.

Requirements And Experience

Minimum 10 years of construction inspection experience, preferably on aviation or large infrastructure projects. Demonstrated experience with structural steel and reinforced concrete construction. Certified Welding Inspector (CWI) certification preferred. Strong understanding of structural codes and standards (IBC, ACI, AISC, AWS). Ability to interpret drawings, specifications, and third-party inspection reports. Ability to pass TSA background checks and obtain airport security credentials.

Electrical Inspector – Low Voltage

The Electrical QA Inspector – Low Voltage will support the inspection of low-voltage building and terminal systems within the airport environment. This role ensures low-voltage systems are installed, tested, and commissioned in accordance with contract documents and airport standards.

Focus Areas and Responsibilities

Inspect low-voltage systems including communications, security, fire alarm, access control, and data cabling. Verify compliance with contract documents, NEC, NFPA, and airport authority standards. Witness testing, continuity checks, grounding verification, labeling, and system integration. Prepare detailed inspection reports documenting deficiencies and corrective actions. Support commissioning, closeout, and final acceptance documentation. Coordinate daily activities with contractors, inspectors, and airport stakeholders.

Requirements And Experience

Minimum 10 years of construction inspection or electrical experience, preferably including aviation projects. Experience inspecting low-voltage systems in vertical construction environments. Strong working knowledge of NEC, NFPA, and low-voltage system standards. Ability to interpret electrical drawings, specifications, and testing documentation. Ability to pass TSA background checks and obtain airport security credentials.

Electrical Inspector – Medium Voltage

The Electrical QA Inspector – Medium Voltage will support the inspection of airfield and vertical construction medium-voltage systems. This role focuses on underground and above-ground electrical infrastructure supporting airport operations.

Focus Areas and Responsibilities

Inspect medium-voltage systems ranging from 600V up to 35kV. Inspect duct banks, feeders, grounding systems, transformers, switchgear, and protective devices. Verify compliance with contract documents, NEC, IEEE standards, and airport authority requirements. Witness testing, energization, and commissioning activities. Document inspection findings, deficiencies, and corrective actions. Support pay application quantity verification and project closeout documentation.

Requirements And Experience

Minimum 10 years of electrical construction or inspection experience, preferably in aviation environments. Demonstrated experience with medium-voltage underground and vertical electrical systems. Strong understanding of NEC, IEEE, and airport electrical standards. Ability to interpret drawings, specifications, and testing documentation. Ability to pass TSA background checks and obtain airport security credentials.
