About Our Opportunity

As the Inspector/Checker/Weigher, there is no worry about doing the same thing day in, day out. Things are always changing, no two days are alike, and every job is different.

You will oversee and maintain records of the daily delivery and distribution of materials at highway construction sites. You will ensure quality of materials delivered, and accuracy in information that is recorded.

Qualifications and Experience

Grade 12 completion or an acceptable equivalent of education and experience. Previous construction experience in areas such as bridge repair, road construction and surveying are an asset.

A valid driver’s license is required. Work is often performed in isolated areas, therefore access to a reliable vehicle is required.

The ability to read design plans and documents with an aptitude for mathematics is essential. You are a self-motivated individual who is effective at working independently with minimal supervision. Proven skills in time management, organization, and attention to detail are critical in this role.

Your exceptional interpersonal and communication (verbal and written) skills are key when liaising with staff, contractors, and the traveling public. You consistently maintain a professional and courteous disposition and hold a high standard for client and customer service.
