Job Description

Bring your expertise of professional construction services to the roadway, highway, and bridge projects that keep communities connected.

Key Responsibilities

Develop, guide, and mentor construction engineers, inspectors, and other field service professionals who provide construction observation, inspection, and contract administration for roadway, highway, and bridge projects.
Coordinate staffing, schedules, workloads, equipment, and field coverage across concurrent projects and critical stages of construction.
Interpret plans, specifications, special provisions, and agency requirements; verify conformance, document deficiencies, and coordinate timely resolution with contractors, designers, and owner representatives.
Oversee inspection and materials sampling and testing for earthwork, aggregates, bituminous paving, concrete, bridge structures, drainage, and associated utilities; confirm that results and records meet project requirements.
Support construction phasing, traffic control and staging coordination, constructability, and change management to keep projects moving and minimize disruptions to the traveling public.
Monitor progress, budgets, and schedules; report cost, quality, and schedule concerns and coordinate their resolution without assuming responsibility for contractor means, methods, or site safety programs.
Promote safety and compliance with company, client, and project requirements; communicate construction risks, potential claims, and emerging issues; and partner with project leaders on corrective actions.
Maintain consistent standards for daily reports, quantities, payment documentation, materials records, and as-built information through final acceptance and project closeout.
Help develop field-service scopes, staffing plans, fees, schedules, and delivery strategies for new and ongoing work.
Support proposals, pursuits, client presentations, and constructability reviews; contribute field insights that improve project planning and delivery.
Standardize field tools, templates, procedures, and technologies; apply lessons learned to improve service delivery across projects and locations.
Build productive relationships with state, county, and municipal agencies, contractors, utilities, and other stakeholders, and represent TKDA in meetings, site visits, and client discussions.
