S&ME is looking for Construction Engineering and Inspection (CEI) Inspectors to support our Transportation group across North Carolina, including Asheville, Charlotte, Greensboro, Raleigh, Wilmington, and nearby regions. In this role, you'll help ensure that vital infrastructure projects-such as highways, bridges, greenways, airports, ports, and rail systems-are built to meet safety, quality, and regulatory benchmarks. Your knowledge and attention to detail will safeguard compliance and uphold excellence throughout the construction process.

What You Will Do:

As a CEI Inspector, you'll play a critical role in overseeing contractor activities and ensuring the successful completion of projects. You may make key technical decisions and work independently or as part of a team on projects.

Monitor contractor operations to confirm projects are executed according to approved plans, specifications, and safety requirements.
Supervise activities including grading, paving, bridge work, and traffic control.
Evaluate erosion control practices and environmental standards, while conducting material sampling and quality assurance testing.
Prepare thorough daily inspection logs, track contractor performance, and manage payment documentation.
Perform calculations, record material quantities, and verify project schedules remain on track.
Participate in progress and safety meetings, collaborating with contractors, engineers, and stakeholders to address challenges.
Conduct DBE/EEO compliance reviews to ensure workforce inclusivity and adherence to equal opportunity standards.

Pay is hourly plus overtime and commensurate with experience, with additional incentives available for candidates who hold relevant certifications.

Qualifications:

High school diploma or GED required.
Prior experience in highway construction or inspection.
A technical degree in Civil Engineering Technology or Surveying Technology may substitute for one year of experience.
Active NCDOT certifications such as QMS Roadway, Conventional Density, Concrete Field Technician, Erosion Control Level II, and/or Nuclear Gauge.
Strong English communication skills (oral and written).
Solid math skills with knowledge of weight, volume, pressure, and measurement units.
Flexibility to work variable schedules and willingness to travel as needed.

Work Environment:

This is a physically demanding, outdoor role requiring the use of company-issued PPE. Inspectors will work in all weather conditions, traverse uneven terrain, stand for extended periods (up to 12 hours), and lift/carry 40-50 lbs. of materials and equipment. The position involves exposure to highway traffic, heavy machinery, and active construction sites, with potential for long hours, weekends, and holidays.
