What You’ll Do

The Construction Inspector I/II inspects workmanship and materials used in a variety of public works construction projects and subdivisions, ensures conformance with plans, specifications, and departmental regulations, and performs related work as required.

Construction Inspector I - This is the entry level class in the Construction Inspector series. This class is distinguished from the Construction Inspector II by the performance of the more routine tasks and duties assigned to positions within the series including inspection work that does not require previous construction inspection experience. Since this class is typically used as a training class, employees may have only limited or no directly related work experience.

Construction Inspector II - This is the journey level class within the Construction Inspector series. Employees within this class are distinguished from the Construction Inspector I by the performance of the full range of duties as assigned including the performance of the entire range of field inspection work requiring a complete knowledge of construction inspection principles and practices. Work in this class is further distinguished from that of the Construction Inspector I by the greater complexity of the assignments received and by the greater independence with which an incumbent is expected to operate. Employees at this level receive only occasional instruction or assistance as new or unusual situations arise, and are fully aware of the operating procedures and policies of the work unit. Positions in this class are flexibly staffed and are normally filled by advancement from the lower class of Construction Inspector I, or, when filled from the outside, require prior construction inspection experience. Appointment to the higher class requires that the employee be performing substantially the full range of duties for the class and meet the qualification standards for the class.

The Construction Inspector I receives immediate supervision from a Construction Supervisor or higher level department personnel.  The Construction Inspector II receives general supervision from a Construction Supervisor or higher level department personnel and may exercise technical and functional supervision over lower level Construction Inspector positions.
